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 laid-back visual novel with a fantasy romance and light supernatural elements, focused on reading choices and character interactions.

What players say

Players are split on the game. Russian-speaking players praise the writing, art and music, calling it a solid short otome. English-speaking players report the English text is machine translated and often unreadable, making the game hard to enjoy. A major plot twist where the love interest's appearance changes at the end frustrates even some who like the story.
