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 lighthearted, conversational dating sim that feels like a playful training session for real-life romance.

What players say

Players praise the soundtrack and pixel art, but split on the story. The game starts wholesome before sliding into horror with a difficult boss fight. Some see it as an abus–\ imitation of Doki Doki Literature Club, others enjoy the fourth-wall breaks. It is short, around 2–4 hours.
