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

You balance diplomacy and romance as a queen under pressure, managing resources and alliances with a hand-drawn, anime aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the surprisingly deep strategy and diplomacy mechanics beneath the visual novel surface, calling it an otome with real game. Many note the 2006 original shows its age in graphics and missing features like decoration and outfit systems, and the English community lacks guides. A false positive virus flag was fixed after the release window, but some still report installation issues.
