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 call this a heavy, emotional visual novel about grief, regret, and a broken band. The story is short but has many choices leading to different endings, and the music is a highlight. Some warn it can be triggering for those dealing with depression.
