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 narrative-driven blend of turn-based tactical combat and visual novel romance, where emotional choices shape a mystery-laden story.

What players say

Players compare it to old-school Fire Emblem with a better, more personal story. The branching choices hit hard emotionally and battles require real strategy on higher difficulties. Several note missing sound effects and a clunky interface, while also praising the queer representation as natural and heartfelt.
