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 contemplative visual novel where you explore a story of mediation between worlds, with a quiet, introspective tone and modest pacing.

What players say
Players praise the art, music, and setting but nearly all warn the series was abandoned after this first episode. The game is short, with few meaningful choices, and the story ends unresolved.
