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, reflective visual novel built around a tender bond between two scarred protagonists, with a bittersweet tone shaped by loss and a fragile dream of connection.

What players say

Players compare it constantly to ATRI, calling it a spiritual successor with a similar apocalyptic human-robot romance. Many praise Cocoro's voice acting and the happy ending, but several say the story follows the same template and loses freshness, with a slow stretch in the middle chapters and a protagonist some find weak. Fans of the voice actress are a big part of the audience.
