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 black-and-white comic-style narrative about the harsh, emotional journey of a young female manga artist chasing her dreams.

What players say

Players say this visual novel is a faithful adaptation of the real A-soul comic工作室 scandal, depicting the boss's manipulative cycle of belittling and rewarding. The black-and-white comic art fits the grim tone, and the story takes six to ten hours to reach nine endings, with many noting it is emotionally heavy and some finding the protagonist too quick to voice criticism.
