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

You play as a blacksmith working methodically to improve your craft and earn money, with a persistent, slightly desperate but hopeful crush driving your daily grind.

What players say

Players describe a simple click-timing smithing loop to earn money for a single brothel girl. While the artwork and Chinese translation are praised, most agree the gameplay is repetitive and the content sparse.
