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.

What players say

Players say the teacher–student romance story is charming, but split on the mini-games: some find them fun and easy, others call them boring and grindy. The art is considered below average, while the voice acting and pure love theme are praised. Most finish in a couple of hours.
