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 breezy, low-stakes RPG where you casually manage a reformed villainess's daily life with light strategy and role-playing elements.

What players say

Players are split on this indie villainess life sim: many praise the cute Q‑style art and the fun coffee‑shop mini‑game, but just as many say it launched as a bug‑filled half‑product with a rushed opening, repetitive content after year one, and no dialogue log. The story fails to make the protagonist feel like a villainess, and support promised for Korean has not arrived.
