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, emotionally resonant visual novel with watercolour art, where you explore a fantasy village and shape a heartfelt story through your choices.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn watercolor art and find the story, which touches on topics like abusive families, engaging despite being short at around two hours. The dialogue choices lead to multiple endings, and the humor is frequently noted. A few reviewers mention the game is built in RPG Maker and some wish it were longer.
