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 breezy, brightly written matchmaking romp where you chat, charm and steer colorful bachelors toward love.

What players say

Players describe it as a comedic, colorful otome with a full voice cast and art they single out, and several replay it after finishing the Switch version. The all-ages common route runs long and routes vary in tone, with Ryuki's route drawing the most praise.
