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 quiet, contemplative visual novel that uses silence, heartbeat, and fragments of classical music to evoke the protagonist's isolation and struggle after a life-changing accident.

What players say

Players praise an emotional short story about a pianist who loses his hearing, with branching choices leading to different endings. Many highlight the voice acting, atmospheric quiet, and a mechanic to learn sign language. Some find the art underdeveloped and the plot too brief with unanswered questions.
