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.

What players say

Players are sharply divided on this adult visual novel. Many praise the female character design and the niche fetish content, but almost everyone agrees it is a buggy, unfinished product with no animations, repetitive writing, and choices that do not matter. Long-time players say the developer abandoned updates.
