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

You explore a frozen planet, reading dialogue and making choices in a chill, story-heavy visual novel with simple walking controls.

What players say

Players praise its short length, peaceful atmosphere, and bittersweet story, though some find the English translation confusing and question the use of RPG Maker assets.
