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 slow-paced narrative-driven game where you manage a shelter, build relationships, and make morally grey choices in a desolate world.

What players say

Players describe a visual novel with good art but no animations. The writing is widely criticized as poor and the story feels unfinished or rushed in the second half. Playthroughs average around 4-6 hours, and the game is heavily focused on breeding kink content.
