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 frenetic and absurd visual novel where you're swept into a neon Showa-era parody world full of gags, pop culture references, and breakneck pacing.

What players say

Players call this a short, absurd visual novel packed with Showa-era and anime references. Its humor clicks only with those familiar with Japanese pop culture, though a built-in dictionary helps. The tennis minigame in chapter 4 frustrates many. Sentiment splits on the writing: most love the nonsense, a few find it boring.
