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 lighthearted and whimsical adventure about an invincible demon lord seeking friends and love, with a casual feel and a touch of lonely charm.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, absurd point-and-click adventure where the demon king recruits companions. It leans heavily on silly jokes and bad endings, taking about one hour to complete everything. Reviews note it is very similar to the developer's previous game, just with a new protagonist and Japanese language support.
