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 praise the production value, full voice acting, and live 2d art for a free visual novel, but split on the pacing: many find the early story slow and the dialogue overly wordy. The story is widely considered incomplete, with an abrupt ending and unresolved plot threads, leaving some disappointed despite the ambitious worldbuilding.
