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 lighthearted, quirky romantic journey blending visual novel storytelling with simple point-and-click puzzles and mini-games.

What players say

Players love the humorous, absurd story and the novelty of Chinese dialect voice acting, especially the Cantonese and Shanghainese lines. The DLC is essential and highly praised for deepening the story and delivering an emotional ending. Many agree the side minigames like the shooting and boxing have finicky controls, and the grind in the parallel world can drag.
