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.

What players say

Players praise this free visual novel for its genuine and thoughtful exploration of vtubing, mental health, and parasocial relationships, though many warn that the first 10-15 minutes are cringeworthy. Reviews consistently note it has no player choices, a short 4-hour runtime, and philosophical dialogue that can feel repetitive or unnatural.
