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 visual novel about a long-buried love and regret, told through a slow-burn narrative with gentle daily life moments that grow increasingly heavy.

What players say

Players praise this as a relatable Chinese yuri story about two girls in high school, with writing that evokes Seabed's influence. Many note the slow, slice-of-life buildup and emotional weight, but find the art, reuse of CGs, and lack of voice acting cheap. The ending is a happy one, though some call it a deus ex machina.
