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 contemplative, character-driven visual novel where unraveling a scientific mystery through dialogue and choice feels quietly emotional and immersive.

What players say
Players praise the sci-fi mystery story about a new element and its effect on daily life, alongside beautiful anime-style art and a soundtrack that fits the scenes. Some note the game is long but inconclusive, with a confusing menu, English errors, and no voice acting yet.
