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 meditative, text-forward visual novel that guides you through a young mediator's introspective first week at school with no gameplay beyond clicking to progress.

What players say
Players say this prequel is short and purposeless, best played after the first episode. The art style changed completely from the original, which many find disappointing. The game feels like a remnant of a cancelled Kickstarter project.
