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 warm yet mildly suspenseful otome-style adventure where holiday cheer meets a personal mystery.

What players say
Players treat this as a quick free achievement grab, finishing in under an hour. A few note the twin love interests and a kidnapping plot, but opinions on the writing are mixed.
