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 slow-paced visual novel with a melancholic fantasy romance where you read through a fallen general's quest to reclaim his honor.

What players say

Players praise the art, music and tea-making minigame, but are split on the story: some find the world-building intriguing, others call it poorly translated and the writing inconsistent. The romance is from a male perspective, which puts off some players, and the invisible choice system can lead to unexpected bad endings.
