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 bittersweet visual novel that starts as a cozy slice-of-life romance in a surreal world, then grows increasingly unsettling as memories and reality begin to unravel.

What players say

玩家一致认为本作是用RPGMaker做的实验性短篇ADV，流程仅半小时到两小时，存在无法回滚对话、不能存档等基础功能缺失。剧情采用数字代号和意识流手法，不少玩家通关后仍对剧情似懂非懂，女主角的配音生活化但男角色捧读严重，玩家对引擎选用和配音表现有明显分歧。
