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 gentle, heartfelt dating sim set in the late 90s where you nurture friendships and skills over a school year, building toward a romantic confession on New Year's Eve.

What players say

Players say the AI-driven characters are the game's core idea, but the execution falls flat. The NPCs frequently forget conversations, contradict themselves, and take minutes to respond. A few find the derailed AI funny, but most call the game unplayable in its current Early Access state.
