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 playful and heartwarming visual novel where you manage clumsy superheroes trying to balance ridiculous night missions with daytime dating, all told with terrible puns and sincere emotional moments.

What players say

Players praise the diverse cast, LGBTQ+ representation, and multiple endings. Some find the missions repetitive and decisions feel arbitrary. Comparisons to Dispatch are common. It is free with no voice acting.
