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 art, music, and writing for creating a heavy, melancholic atmosphere, especially for yuri fans who enjoy sad stories. However, they criticize the visual novel's interface for lacking basic features like a fast text speed and the inability to change settings during gameplay, two reviewers also note that neither ending feels satisfying.
