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, heartwarming life-sim where you manage a quiet household and nurture a sibling bond after loss.

What players say

Players say it is a fun but flawed child-raising sim that blends stat management with FMV scenes, much like Princess Maker. Reviews are split on the actor changes at age 12 and 15, with some finding the older actress fitting poorly. The core loop feels repetitive, and the English translation is rough, but the skip system and multiple endings add replay value.
