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 slow-burn mystery horror where you piece together a dark story through exploration and visual novel segments, with a melancholic, emotional tone.

What players say

Players highlight that the game is a short, cheap visual novel with no English support, made in RPG Maker. Many praise its tragic and emotional yuri story, though some criticize the pacing and say the romance feels rushed. A few report technical issues like missing dialogue options for different endings.
