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

A short, five- to six-hour retro-style JRPG with turn-based combat and light dating sim elements. Players enjoy the pixel art and male character designs, but many wish the game were longer and had more scenes, calling the content too brief. A few mention performance freezes that require frequent saving.
