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, thoughtful turn-based fight with light puzzle-solving and a stripped-down story

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the visual novel and story mode, others call it a low-effort RPG Maker asset flip with cryptic puzzles that require a guide. The trial mode lacks hints, and long-time players note the English version has a separate plot. A few praise the intertwined character stories and fishing/farming activities, while the short 7-hour length divides opinion.
