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.

What players say

Players compare My Loving Wife to Doki Doki Literature Club but are split on whether it lives up to that inspiration. Some find it a decent free short story with an unsettling twist, while others call the writing shallow, the characters unrealistic, and the horror not effective.
