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 lighthearted, cozy visual novel with a gentle magical school story and low-stakes choices.

What players say

Players mostly enjoy the art and music, but many find the story flat and uneventful. Reviews split on whether the choices matter, with several noting only the 'true ending' changes anything. The writing is simple and slice of life, and the game is short, around two hours.
