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 cutesy dating sim that gradually reveals a dark and disturbing undercurrent, mixing sweet romance with unsettling horror.

What players say

Players praise the writing and say the game achieves genuine psychological horror within a romance framework, but warn that its disturbing content is not for everyone. The nonbinary representation is called authentic, and players report roughly 10 hours per route with heavy replay value.
