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 gentle, choice-driven story with a focus on personal relationships and light romantic tension, set against a countdown to a festival.

What players say

Players are split on the polyamory-focused story: some find it heartwarming and unique, others feel forced into it or find the characters unlikable. The game is free, short at about 3 hours, and praised for its art and skip button for replays.
