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 are split on this AI-heavy furry visual novel. Some enjoy the music and character stories for the low price, while others warn the devs admitted they will abandon the game without finishing promised DLC, and several report it is no longer playable. The gameplay is described as more of a clicker than a novel, with conversation topics that get grayed out once used.
