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

You take on odd jobs and morally ambiguous errands in a playful, slightly risqué fantasy village while saving up for a wedding.

What players say

Players describe a branching NTR RPG where grind and RNG wear down the experience, especially when chasing endings. Many complain that long cutscenes and animations cannot be skipped, and some report game-breaking bugs. The adult scenes are praised for their art, but the same animations loop without a skip option. Players split on whether the story and content justify the frustration.
