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, intimate romance where you sit in a quiet bar and listen to experienced men share their lives.

What players say

Players say this otome is aimed at those attracted to older men, with no voiced lines and visible machine translation. Opinions split on the writing: some enjoy the caring uncles while others find the romance rushed or frustrating, especially the teacher route.
