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 gentle, choice-driven romance story set in a historical Republican-era atmosphere, with a slow, text-heavy pace focused on emotional relationships

What players say

Players praise the period setting and detailed writing, but opinions split sharply on the male leads and the heroine's portrayal. Some love the historical atmosphere and character nuance, while others criticize repeated terms like '仙人' and odd romantic pacing. The game has no voice acting and runs about 2-3 hours per route. A vocal minority warns about developer hostility toward negative reviews.
