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 casual, lighthearted visual novel about dating a quirky melon-person in a crumbling world, where choices feel meaningful but the mood stays playful and sweet.

What players say

Players praise the tight writing and inventive premise of dating a genderless melon-person during a dystopian storm. Most finish in under an hour, note that all endings are positive, and appreciate that choices matter. A minority find the main characters off-putting, and a few technical complaints about missing skip and text history features.
