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 moody visual novel about a gloomy protagonist navigating school life through interactive choices, with full voice acting and a romantic undertone.

What players say

Players praise this free Chinese gal for its dark, sexually repressed story and free character voices, but they split on the writing, some find it interesting and adult, others say the plot is unfinished and the male lead's voice acting is wooden. A few note the first playthrough forces the good ending, and the game takes about 80 minutes to fully complete.
