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.

A gentle, slow-paced daily life simulation focused on building a quiet, caring relationship through conversation and routine.

What players say

Players enjoy the cute and wholesome story of caring for a NEET girl, but they are split on the price versus the short length. Many note it needs a patch from the developer's site for full adult content, and some report crashes or untranslated text.
