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 tense, atmospheric visual novel where you manage relationships and survival over a year-long rite of passage in a snowy tower.

What players say

Players praise the art, music and voice acting but are split on the writing: some find it well-crafted and heartfelt, others call it boring or badly written. The story is slow for most of its length and wraps up quickly, and despite being an otome there is no kiss or marriage. It is a short, free visual novel that players finish in an evening.
