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 poignant, story-driven journey blending 2D platforming and visual novel segments, focusing on the emotional farewell between a cursed immortal boy and a dying shrine maiden.

What players say

players describe this as a short visual novel without character sprites, using only a handful of CGs and background art. The story is a predictable redemption tale that many found underwhelming, though the art and music are praised. Most agree the full price is too high for what is offered.
