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 short, comedic visual novel with a laid-back pace, focused on dialogue-driven misadventures between an eccentric grifter and a disillusioned alcoholic.

What players say

Players describe Punchline!! as a short visual novel with comic panels and minimal gameplay. Some praise the art and music while others criticize the drawn-out dialogue and story quality. A notable split exists over the developer's extended post-game talk, with some finding it insightful and others calling it weird.
