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

Players call it a sweet middle school love story that nails the nostalgic atmosphere of Chinese campus life, from group assignments to exams. The male lead stays an unchanging slacker throughout, which some find endearing and others frustrating. Reviews split on whether the story is too平淡 or just right for its short length.
