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 gentle, reassuring visual novel that feels like a warm chat with a charmingly earnest character, paced for unhurried enjoyment.

What players say

A short, sweet visual novel with heartwarming romance between a job seeker and a self-proclaimed shaman. Players praise the voice acting and art, but note it is only a few hours long and has just five CG scenes. Some find the early story frustrating before it shifts to a sweeter tone.
