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 funny, linear visual novel that gently teaches programming through romantic dialog and relaxed coding puzzles in a post-apocalyptic setting.

What players say

Players say it is a beginner-friendly introduction to C# concepts wrapped in a linear visual novel with a charming post-apocalyptic story. The romance and character interactions are a highlight, but the game is short and ends abruptly on a cliffhanger, with many hoping for a sequel to resolve the loose ends.
