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

What players say
Players praise this visual novel as a worthy prequel to An Octave Higher, though opinions split on which to play first. It tackles themes of mental illness and societal definitions of insanity through a magicless girl in a madhouse. The story balances comedy and drama but some find the true ending too easy to reach on a first playthrough.
