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 quiet, introspective story about a young woman drifting through a suffocating small town, where small moments and unexpected connections slowly stir change.

What players say

Players praise the authentic portrayal of small-town Chinese high school life and family trauma, with nuanced LGBTQ+ representation that feels organic rather than forced. The branching narrative and multiple endings create strong emotional impact, though some find the subject matter too heavy or the writing uneven. A few reviewers note it relies on genre scarcity for its high praise.
