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 heartfelt, bittersweet visual novel about spending a fleeting summer with a supernatural girl, blending cozy everyday moments with emotional weight.

What players say

Players say it is a very short visual novel, about 3 to 6 hours, with beautiful character art but a plain, predictable story. The white-haired heroine voiced by Yui Ogura is a highlight, but the game's dog sound effects are performed by a human, which many find bizarre. The true ending requires a second playthrough, and adult content is in a separate patch.
