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.

What players say

Players describe a very short visual novel with a quirky, 'radio wave' vibe that is more about romance and mentioning detective topics than actual mystery solving. Reviews note the student-project feel, quick pacing with many endings but achievements only for good endings, and split opinions on whether the writing clicks or feels awkward.
