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.

What players say

Players say the game is extremely short, especially on the non-NTR route, and that development has been slow since early access. Many note the story feels rushed, the writing is poor with spelling errors, and the animations are stiff, though opinions on the artwork are mixed. Players split on whether the NTR focus is a feature or a drawback.
