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, daily-life visual novel with absurd and darkly humorous storytelling, played for its laid-back yet emotionally charged narrative.

What players say

Players are split on this short visual novel. Some enjoy its absurd, meme-filled comedy and sweet romance, while others criticize the protagonist as off-putting and the political jokes as forced. The story feels incomplete without a patch, and the art and UI are rough.
