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.

What players say

Players say it is a short, pure nukige visual novel from ORCSOFT with no gameplay beyond clicking through static CGs and voice acted scenes. The protagonist is an ugly fat man, and the focus is entirely on H-scenes with three distinct nieces. Some call it too brief and shallow even for the genre, while others enjoy the straightforward content and art style.
