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 brief, breezy visual novel with a wistful tone, focused on light campus romance and sweet memories by the sea.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short kinetic novel with no choices, lasting about one to two hours. Many note the poor English translation and the lack of voice acting, while opinions on the story are mixed: some find it decent, others call it forgettable or rushed. The art is widely considered low-budget, with limited character poses.
