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

Exploring a fabricated city and its eerie yet harmless otherworldly beings feels like a quiet, pensive stroll through a mysterious but not frightening fantasy world.

What players say

Players are sharply divided. Many love the torrent of absurdist internet memes and bizarre character writing, while others find the same memes repetitive and tone-breaking. The story is cryptic and short, with only one real CG, and performance stutters are noted. Yuri romance is present but some find character motivations rushed.
