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 leisurely, story-focused adventure through a mystical world filled with magic and romantic tension.

What players say

Players consistently call this an average or okay visual novel, not terrible but not memorable. The game is short, around 1-7 hours, and most say to buy it on sale. Renders and story are fine, but choices feel like they have little impact and the world is empty. There are multiple endings and three heroines.
