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 slow, atmospheric visual novel where you investigate a quiet apartment and piece together a mysterious romance with a melancholic, slightly eerie tone.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the quirky story and multiple endings, while others criticize the low-budget feel of AI-generated and poorly-scaled sprites, a terrible font, and cheap chase sequences that restart the entire game on death due to no saving.
