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 melancholic yet tender visual novel where you slowly build relationships through choice-driven conversations, with a heavy focus on personal growth and emotional storytelling.

What players say

Players say the visual novel starts slow and requires patience, but then delivers deep emotional impact that stays with them. Many recommend using a guide and note the Steam port needs a music restoration patch for the original soundtrack.
