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 calm, introspective visual novel about a lonely girl meeting a transfer student, unfolding a heartfelt short story without branching or voice acting.

What players say

Players praise this short visual novel for blending youth and sci-fi with a pleasant atmosphere, but note it has a single linear route lasting one to two hours with no choices. The story does not reveal everything, leaving room for interpretation, which some find unsatisfying while others appreciate the tasteful ending.
