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 story-heavy visual novel with a slow, contemplative feel as you uncover secrets through dialogue and multiple routes.

What players say

Players say the CG art quality is inconsistent, the sprites and backgrounds look fine but some CGs are noticeably poorer. The writing and worldbuilding get praise, though a few find the story too simple and say the choices barely matter. It is a short, free visual novel with one route that feels more developed than the others.
