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.

What players say

Players praise the cute yuri romance between a modern goth teen and a time-displaced knight, calling the characters endearing and the writing quality strong. Opinions split on the first half, which some find boring or meandering, though the mystery and fantasy elements keep readers hooked. The art and music are consistently complimented, and the game is a linear kinetic novel with no choices.
