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 fast-paced action RPG that feels like a heartfelt, emotional journey through a post-apocalyptic world where mechanical girls seek humanity.

What players say

Players praise the story, characters, and soundtrack, but say the combat is frustrating with one-shot enemies and a grindy endgame. Opinions split on whether the action is tolerable, with many calling it a visual novel in disguise and advising to buy on deep discount.
