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, low-stakes visual novel where you leisurely navigate culinary school and sweet romantic encounters with charming anime-style love interests.

What players say
Players praise this otome's warm atmosphere and charming friend group dynamic among the four love interests. The story starts slowly with a long common route, and romance only picks up around chapter 8, which some find frustrating.
