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.

What players say

Players describe this as a kinetic visual novel with no branching choices, only a selection of which character's perspective to follow. The story focuses on two childhood friends, one of whom transitions, and reviewers praise the writing and emotional depth. Some find the price high for the content, and a few note basic animations and limited adult scenes.
