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 gentle, relaxed interaction with a shy fox guardian in a serene forest setting, focusing on quiet conversation and building companionship.

What players say

Players describe a kinetic novel with no choices that focuses entirely on the relationship between two women. Many mention crying at the ending, which is happy, but some note the English translation has errors and the background music grows repetitive.
