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 short, whimsical visual novel about a candy alchemist discovering a mystery in her basement, with lighthearted exploration and multiple endings.

What players say

Players find the game charming and cute, but many say it feels simpler and weaker than the developer's later games like Bad End Theater or Return to Ash. Some note that the backgrounds are lackluster and the art is uneven.
