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 visual novel that leans into horror despite being tagged as a dating sim, with a plot twist and three endings that take about an hour to see. The writing is rough at the start and the partial voice acting gets repetitive, but the art and fully voiced endings are praised.
