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.

A darkly romantic dating sim where you manipulate friends' affections to offer love to a devil, driven by oppressive atmosphere and narrative tension.

What players say

Players describe it as a short but polished yuri visual novel with meta elements and a satisfying narrative structure. The story balances sweet surface-level interactions with darker themes like abuse and emotional emptiness, and reviewers praise the detailed character expressions and UI. Completions take around 4 hours, with multiple endings including a true ending that reframes the entire story.
