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 gentle, story-driven visual novel where you walk through a quiet romance and modest puzzles, feeling like you're uncovering a heartfelt narrative rather than playing a game.

What players say

Players describe a short yuri visual novel about a writer and her alternate self, made in RPG Maker. Many praise the emotional story but split on the art, the character portraits look great while the CG art is weak. The multiple endings, especially the third one, generate strong reactions for a downer conclusion.
