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 brief, narrative-driven experience where you navigate a lonely classroom after school, embracing righteous rage through simple puzzles and a dark, gory tone.

What players say

A short RPG Maker game tackling bullying and trauma, split on whether it does so with depth or heavy handedly. Players note many endings but some repetitive backtracking, and the rough translation can crop text. It ties to the developer's earlier Confess My Love.
