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.

What players say

This is a fan-service title celebrating Charon's tenth anniversary, packed with cameos from past games. Players split on the story: longtime fans appreciate the nostalgia and meta layers, but others find the plagiarism-themed real-world plot confusing and thin. The pixel art and theme song are widely praised. Expect no yandere or horror this time.
