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 lighthearted, musical visual novel where you explore as a stray cat, making choices and meeting residents in a cozy building.

What players say

Players love being a cat in this cozy visual novel with fully voiced musical numbers. The story focuses on making matches between the three human protagonists rather than dating them yourself, but replaying means you cannot skip previously seen scenes.
