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 solitary, introspective experience navigating melancholy memories and quiet hope through text and choice.

What players say

Players call it a very short visual novel with a melancholic new year theme, but note the poor English translation and that choices do not affect the story. Some highlight the AI art and a soundtrack that feels mismatched.
