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 playful yet unsettling visual novel that blends anime humor with a creeping sense of dread as reality and game development blur together.

What players say

Players praise the art, voice acting and story but are sharply split on the writing. Many say the constant juvenile boob and perv jokes ruin the experience and make the cast insufferable, though a few note that the characters grow on them and the plot becomes emotional. Reviews frequently compare it unfavorably to Steins,Gate, and several mention the hidden ending is disappointing.
