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 story-focused visual novel with a mysterious, introspective tone that feels like uncovering fragmented memories at a contemplative pace.

What players say

Players are split on this adult visual novel: some enjoy the artwork and story while others find pacing poor and choices meaningless. The game mostly follows a loop of sex scenes with little player agency. Many note bugs, spelling errors, and unfinished animations. Despite that, fans eagerly await season 2.
