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.

What players say

A short visual novel, roughly 30 to 40 minutes per playthrough, about a hiking date with a raccoon companion named Tendou. Players consistently mention the partial voice acting, the artwork and music, and multiple endings, and many compare it to the developer's earlier game The Hayseed Knight.
