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 quiet, introspective journey through the mundane and unsettling moments of a reclusive illustrator's life, driven by curiosity and a sparse, personal narrative.

What players say

Players describe 琳琳 as a free visual novel about rescuing a girl from domestic abuse, with a short playtime around one hour. The story is praised as heartfelt and meaningful, but some find the writing illogical, the fantasy mechanics at odds with the serious subject, and the true endings depressingly realistic. Players are split on whether the supernatural element undermines the realism.
