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 warm, unhurried summer that drifts between cheerful days and quiet pangs of longing and regret.

What players say

Players describe a short to medium visual novel about summer, memory, and small-town life, with a soundtrack that reuses its main theme in rearrangements without wearing thin. Fans of the developer celebrate the first official English release of a Makura title. Some reviewers warn that spoilers are easy to find and that the game costs around 20 dollars, which a few consider high for its length.
