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 contemplative visual novel that immerses the player in a wealthy but emotionally hollow life, emphasizing quiet melancholy and introspection.

What players say

Players praise the BL romance between Haru and Kishou, especially their banter and opposites-attract dynamic, and the music stands out. The action focus is compared to shonen manga, and while the story is a linear kinetic novel with no choices, many wish it were longer and hope for a sequel.
