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 disorienting, text-heavy visual novel where you piece together your past through unsettling conversations with a chatty, unknown captor.

What players say

A very short free visual novel that players call a delightful tease. The yandere jester character and voice acting win praise, and while its 5-minute runtime and multiple endings charm players, many want a full-length sequel.
