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 typing novel game that feels like a gentle, story-focused journey through a mysterious world, with a relaxed pace and technical hiccups that break immersion.

What players say

Players are split on the typing novel hybrid: some praise the novel's use for realistic typing practice, while others criticize the fixed romaji input (not accepting 'HU' for 'ふ') and the hard-to-read interface. The game offers four difficulty levels, but higher ones are reported as very hard even for the developer.
