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 hand-drawn medieval fantasy visual novel with turn-based combat, where your choices shape a lore-rich story and a growing party.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art, full Japanese voice acting and polished writing, but they warn that only the first chapter is available, taking about an hour, and some feel it is overpriced for the content. The game promises many more chapters and over 50 hours eventually.
