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 casual puzzle game where you investigate campus conspiracies while dressing up in disguise, blending light mystery with dress-up mini-games and an anime aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the game for tackling real social issues like loan sharks and scams, but many note severe translation and typo problems. The story is short and cheap, though some find the superpower element and the otome romance underdeveloped. A vocal minority reports bugs, especially with achievements being day-gated.
