The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A tender, melancholic visual novel where gentle daily life slowly unravels into emotional tension and difficult choices.

What players say

Players praise the writing, music, and characters, especially the 'little princess teacher' Orihime and the tsundere Kasumi. Many note the rigid story-lock progression as a frustration, and opinions are split on whether the darker, more melodramatic plot works or feels forced. The 'pinky swear' system adds a thematic layer but the game is held back by its uneven route quality.
