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.

About

I am a high school student. This summer, I am visiting a small town in the country. The town is surrounded by mountains and people peacefully coexist with ayakashi (ghosts). I don't remember this place, but I feel like there was something I cherished there. The people I spend my time there all feel somehow important. They are Giou (an ayakashi), Shinonome, Shu, Takatora, and Chihaya. I get involved in a trouble due to appearance of an another mysterious ayakashi. Mysterious phenomena... Nightmare... I don't wanna remember that thing, but I have to... When the moon becomes full, what will happen to me...? Now, my summer starts...
