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 slow, dialogue-driven romance experience focused on character relationships rather than action or tension.

About

The protagonist's little sister appears as a new character. Scenarios have been remade since the Dreamcast release, and new event CGs and endings added. This version also adds voices for the male characters which original only female characters were.
