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 casual, free-to-play indie game in early access that feels like stepping through a magical door into a mysterious academy filled with romantic and atmospheric encounters.

What players say

Players praise the humor and references but find the story cut short with only two chapters available and no updates since 2021. There is split opinion on dialogue: some enjoy the choice-heavy conversations, others find them tedious. Russian reviewers specifically note that male characters feel less developed than female ones.
