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 dark, emotionally charged visual novel where a princess's death becomes a haunting journey through time and love with an undercurrent of psychological dread.

What players say

Players praise this dark retelling of Donkeyskin for its time loop mechanic, which lets the protagonist grow through repeated attempts to escape a grim fate. The art and animation are consistently highlighted, and many note the strong appeal of its sapphic romance options. Some players found the mature themes heavier than expected.
