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 short, looping visual novel where you repeatedly order in a strange cafe to uncover a weird mystery through multiple endings.

What players say

Players finish in about an hour and a half, calling it a quick and cheap novel game where menu orders act as passwords for branching conversations. The story shifts between silly and serious, and while the hint system helps, some wish they could skip repeated dialogue during multiple playthroughs.
