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 that mixes light social interactions with a growing sense of unease as a streamer's fame attracts unwanted attention.

What players say

Players say the game is very short, with all endings possible in under an hour and h-scenes that pass in seconds. Opinion is split on whether it is worth the cost: some find it acceptable on deep sale, while others call it lackluster and point to reused assets and no gallery mode.
