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 contemplative, quiet mystery where you guide a reluctant protagonist through lonely cityscapes and fragile connections, with a lingering sense of uncertainty and quiet melancholy.

What players say
Players praise the writing and characters, calling it more a friendship simulator than a dating sim. The truth/lie/half-truth mechanic gives control but keeps outcomes unpredictable. Many compare it to Persona's social links without the combat. Reviewers note only two characters are romanceable and that choices can feel opaque until the ending. The soundtrack gets consistent praise.
