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 wistful, interactive story about regret and coming of age, where soft hand-drawn visuals and deliberate pacing draw you into a reflective summer memory.

What players say

Players praise the beautiful hand-painted art and nostalgic summer atmosphere that evokes their own memories. The story is heartfelt but most find the writing average and the choices feel meaningless. It is a short, emotional visual novel that can be tearjerking, though some note awkward controls.
