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

Players praise the art, writing, and emotional impact, but nearly all agree the game is very short, clocking in around two to three hours. The conversation mechanic, while thematically fitting, becomes cumbersome late-game because the player has too many dialogue options to choose from, similar to presenting evidence in Ace Attorney.
