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 relationship-focused visual novel where you shape emotional connections through narrative choices, with a grounded, introspective feel.

What players say

Players praise the story and character writing as believable, with well-developed girls each having their own problems. The game offers multiple endings and a surprisingly long epilogue, though one reviewer notes that the protagonist attracts everyone without reason. There is mixed feedback on choice impact, with one player finding choices irrelevant while others enjoy the branching routes.
