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 tender, introspective story about loneliness and reconnection, told through slow-burning dialogue and emotional resonance.

What players say
Players call it a short, sweet romance visual novel with full voice acting. Some find the plot too simple to be memorable, but agree the game is well-priced for its length.
