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

You read and make choices in a cozy, magical college romance story, building relationships and uncovering secrets through text alone.

What players say

Players say the magic school setting feels underused - magic itself barely appears. The romance is rushed, the characters are shallow, and the story ends abruptly. Some find it a light read, others prefer the Keeper series instead.
