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 visually cutesy visual novel where unsettling landlord antics clash with desperate survival and dark humor, driven by choices and mini-games.

What players say

Players praise the funny dialogue, charming art, and unusual love interest, a communist with cannibal tendencies. Many note it is very short, finishable in 1-3 hours, and some wish for more romance scenes or deeper interactivity.
