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 dark fantasy visual novel where you explore a moody underworld, solve puzzles in turn-based battles, and make choices between desire and escape.

What players say

Players say it is a short, adult visual novel with a dot-connecting puzzle that repeats throughout. The art and animations are praised, but the mini-game feels tedious and is clearly a mobile port. The story ends as a first chapter, leaving players wanting more.
