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 dice-rolling text adventure that captures the absurdity and emotional rollercoaster of high school, where mundane routines and wild fantasies coexist.

What players say

Players say the game captures a realistic Chinese high school life with a mix of melancholy and humor, though its gameplay is thin and it feels more like a visual novel than a simulation. The writing is praised for its relatable characters and LGBTQ+ romance options, but some find the male character writing unrealistic and the content sparse for the price.
