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 visual novel blending slapstick comedy and romance with a mysterious curse, creating a playful yet tense feeling of solving a life-or-death love puzzle.

What players say

Players compare this visual novel to the same developer's Raging Loop, finding it rougher and slower. The story has a flowchart system that helps with replays, but the early pacing is a slog and the romantic comedy feels forced. Some praise the character Mii-chan, while others find the writing unfocused. Players split on whether the humor lands.
