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 it as a short, free visual novel with simple choices and easy achievements. Opinions split on the writing: some find it charming and fun, others call it generic or poorly written. The art quality is inconsistent, but the Taylor subplot and queer representation are praised.
