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

You chat in real-time with an AI, shaping her emotions and personality through conversation as the story branches around your choices.

What players say

Players split on this AI chat visual novel. Many enjoy the atmosphere and self-reflection, but the 20-character reply limit and hidden keyword answers frustrate others, who call it a keyword-guessing game with no real freedom. Some get stuck on a turtle soup puzzle until the developer posted hints online.
