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 short, emotionally charged visual novel with light platforming, where choices lead to multiple bittersweet endings.

What players say

Players praise the game's art, multiple endings, and ambition, but consistently say it is too short and the romance feels underdeveloped. The dystopian story is engaging yet familiar, and some note the absence of sound and music.
