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 low-stakes social simulation where awkward encounters and budding friendships unfold in a relaxed, slightly quirky school setting.

What players say

Players find the game short and repetitive, with limited sprite variation and a heavy focus on clicking through dialogue. Routes are hard to get onto without a guide, and the sexual humor doesn't lead to any adult visuals, which some found disappointing.
