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, slice-of-life visual novel about a teenage girl navigating a quiet train station and small-town life, with a reflective and heartwarming tone.

What players say

Players love the watercolor art and voice acting, but are split on the story. Many find the English writing awkward and the choices meaningless, with only two similar endings. The game is short, around 1-2 hours, and a handful of reviewers note that achievements are broken.
