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 methodical, narrative-focused experience where every choice subtly shapes your journey through a hidden magical school.

What players say

Most reviews call it a charming but shallow Harry Potter visual novel. The card battles are optional and don't affect the story, and choices feel meaningless despite promises otherwise. Players split on the ending: some find the twist interesting, others see it as sequel bait. Eight years after release, long-time players note that only one chapter exists and no sequel has followed.
