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 brief, introspective visual novel balancing quiet melancholy with a sense of quiet determination as you unravel personal history through dialogue and choices.

What players say

Players say it is a short linear visual novel with a good story but almost no choices or adult content, despite the tags. The Steam version was stripped of mature scenes, and development appears abandoned.
