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 charming, low-stakes adventure pairing visual novel storytelling with light retro action, focused on collaborative game development and budding romance.

What players say

Players finish in 2–3 hours and call it overpriced even on sale. The visual novel has no voice acting and barely any event artwork, while the action-platformer part handles well but makes bug-hunting more like a hidden-object puzzle. Reviews split on whether the story is charming or too plain, and several note that fixed protagonist name hurts immersion.
