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 modernized visual-novel adventure that feels like unraveling a tense, character-focused conspiracy through deliberate choices and gradual reveals.

What players say

Players split on the remake. Many say the Live2D art is nice, but the story is the truncated ELITE version, so the original is cheaper and better. Others note missing voice on Steam Deck, visual hitches, and bare-bones options, while some buy it just to support the developer.
