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 casual, story-focused visual novel with hand-drawn art and a slow-paced narrative about gaining necromantic powers.

What players say

Players praise the art and early story, but nearly all say the second half is rushed and the ending ruins everything. The game drops its plotlines, characters become one-dimensional, and several women shown are never properly added to the harem. The developer appears to have abandoned the original story to wrap up quickly.
