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, reflective visual novel that unfolds a brief tale of memory, blending warmth with a soft touch of regret.

What players say
Players are split on this visual novel. Most praise the authentic depiction of youth and the specific nostalgia of Chengdu's Shishi middle school, but many criticize the male lead's behavior and the story as melodramatic and cliché. The art is considered average, and the sad ending is seen as realistic by some and frustrating by others.
