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 gentle, character-driven historical visual novel that feels like a quiet, tense, and emotional encounter between two strangers in the rain.

What players say

Players praise the emotional story set during the War of 1812 and call it a well-researched historical piece, but note it is a purely linear visual novel with no player choices. Some find it too slow or pointless, while others say it is a short, focused read that finishes in about three hours.
