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, story-driven investigation through a moody Victorian setting, focused on dialogue and uncovering clues about a murder.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a cozy, cheesy visual novel with lovely art and voice acting, while others say the mystery is too easy, the love interests are underdeveloped, and the common route repeats across all characters. Complaints also mention reused CGs and occasional glitches with character faces.
