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.

a tender, introspective visual novel where heartache and healing slowly intertwine against a seaside summer backdrop.

What players say

Players praise the beautiful art and live2d animation, but note the story is a kinetic novel with no choices. Sentiment is split on the plot: some find it a touching, mature romance, while others are put off by heavy drama including infidelity and self-harm. The middle section is often called slow.
