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.

What players say

Players praise this short visual novel for its surprising depth, blending yuri romance with cosmic horror and existential themes. Many note the effective contrast between character portraits and ASCII art, though some find the romances too rushed. Players split on the story's execution, with some calling the conflicts forced while others celebrate the nuanced worldbuilding.
