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 vertical-format word game where you click through chat-like dialogue to build a cozy yet uncanny romance with branching outcomes.

What players say

Players describe a brief yuri visual novel with light supernatural themes and funny internet jokes, controlled entirely by clicking. Some wish the game allowed keyboard input or letting them save mid-chapter.
