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 tense, atmospheric visual novel where you navigate academic betrayal and injustice, with a quiet, studious feel and a focus on manipulation and loss.

What players say
Players say the game is a short revenge visual novel with a decent story and good Korean translation, but they are split on the H-content: most find the 6 H-scenes too few and basic with AI art and voice, while a few enjoy the story enough to recommend it as a cheap narrative.
