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 somber, emotionally charged visual novel where you slowly piece together a tragic bond while wrestling with guilt and an unavoidable, gut-wrenching choice.

What players say

Players say this visual novel is a short, emotional read with a heavy narrative where each loop adds depth. The game has five endings, most of them bleak, and no fanservice or voice acting. A few reviewers note the eating minigame can be tricky and the CG count is low.
