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 low-stakes visual novel where everyday student life is shaped by player choices, with romantic and social outcomes but no tension of failure.

What players say

Players report the story has a decent branching structure with multiple endings, but the English translation is so poor it harms dialogue. The early game loops the same scenes repeatedly, like a groundhog day. It started as a paid title and was later made free, and most agree it is worth trying at that price if you can overlook the janky translation and dated visuals.
