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, narrative-driven experience where player choices shape intertwined tales of love, loss, and hope, with a gentle, melancholic atmosphere.

What players say
Players praise the emotional, character-driven story about a shy girl exploring her sexuality, with themes of depression, suicide, and recovery. The art is described as outdated but effective, and the game is longer and sadder than the title suggests. Some note the writing needs grammar edits and scenes are short.
