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 gentle, story-rich visual novel where you reconnect with a childhood crush through heartfelt conversations and nostalgic memories.

What players say

Players praise the heartwarming story and likeable characters, especially the gyaru MILF protagonist. The visual novel is a single linear path with no branching choices, full Japanese voice acting, and static HCG scenes. Many report a fullscreen resolution bug on 2K and 4K monitors, plus the adult content requires a separate patch and remains mosaic-censored.
