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 reflective, character-driven visual novel about growing up and saying goodbye, told through animated portraits and a bittersweet story.

What players say

Players say the story focuses on an idol group from each member's viewpoint, with minigames and Live2D art. The yuri content is more subtext than overt romance, and the English translation has quirks. Some find the male-coded protagonist text off-putting, and a few note that the art style may deter players.
