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, story-driven visual novel that feels like reading a short, sentimental romance set against the vibrant backdrop of modern Shanghai, with a focus on character interactions and everyday emotional ups and downs.

What players say

Players call the English translation nearly unreadable. The visual novel has no choices, only one ending, no voice acting, and a short runtime around 30 minutes. The backgrounds look like cheap 3D renders and the handful of BGM tracks grow annoying. Some praise the cute character art, but complaints about a boring, rushed story dominate.
