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 contemplative visual novel where your choices subtly shift the protagonist's mood and personal journey through a richly painted European countryside.

What players say

Players praise the branching story and how choices change the protagonist's appearance and personality, but they are split on the romance, which many find shallow. The artwork is consistently highlighted as a standout, though the lack of voice acting and the short playtime get mixed reactions. Some find the endings unsatisfying.
