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 moody visual novel that feels like exploring a strange high school through text and dialogue, with a slow-building sense of unease and teen angst.

What players say

Players are split on this visual novel, some like the story and characters, while others find the writing and pacing boring. Many criticize the lack of basic settings like text speed and volume controls, and note that achievements require purchasing the second chapter as DLC.
