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 whimsical yet dangerous sci-fi visual novel where player choices shape personality-driven interactions and romance across 30-40 hours of story.

What players say

Players praise the deep worldbuilding and unique sci-fi fantasy setting across many distinct routes, but some find the amount of reading excessive and the romance slow to develop. Sentiment is split on whether the extensive lore and descriptions are rewarding or unnecessary.
