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 thoughtful visual novel where you navigate moral dilemmas and shifting loyalties through mind-reading, with a focus on character-driven storytelling and ethical tension.

What players say

Players praise the mind-reading gimmick as a fresh take on visual novel choices, but opinions split on execution. Some find the protagonist frustrating and the art inconsistent, while others appreciate the queer representation and moral complexity. The story is considered decent but rushed, and replaying for other endings is tedious due to poor skip functionality.
