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 bittersweet, emotionally charged visual novel where a gentle, melancholic story unfolds through soft visuals and character-driven choices.

What players say

Players consistently note the short length, around 2-4 hours, and feel it is overpriced for what it offers. The writing by rkr has its fans, but many find the plot rushed, with complex lore dumped late and character development shallow. Opinions split on the distinctive art by Kiriha: some love it, others find the faces off. The game is clearly a first installment, leaving threads for a sequel.
