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

an eerie, slow-burn visual novel where you wander a quiet school at dusk, piecing together rumors and uneasy silences.

What players say

Players praise the art and music, but many find the story rushed and the seven endings uneven, with Rio's route pulling the threads together. Several note the game is short and best picked up on sale. A few object to frequent pantyshot imagery.
