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 describe a short, story-driven visual novel with point-and-click puzzles about a woman navigating purgatory. The painterly art and partial voice acting are praised, and the romance is light despite being tagged. Reviews split on the writing quality: most find it sweet and engaging, while a few call it weak. The game ends on a cliffhanger that sets up a sequel.
