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 tense visual novel where uncovering a school's sinister secrets through choice-driven narrative creates an atmosphere of dread and mystery.

What players say

Players describe a short visual novel with yuri romance and an occult school plot, but many say the main character is unlikable and choices barely affect the story outside romance. The game is called cute and fun by some, while others find it repetitive and note the horror tag is misleading.
