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 thoughtful visual novel about standing up to bullying and uncovering hidden depths beneath a harsh exterior, with a relaxed pace focused on dialogue and relationship building.

What players say

Players praise the sweet bully-to-lover story and distinct character art, but many find the writing shallow, the romance scenes lacking, and the music repetitive. Reviews split on the ending: some call it abrupt while others note multiple endings depending on choices.
