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 somber, slow-paced detective story told through simple exploration and dialogue, like turning pages in a moody novella.

What players say

Players praise the emotional, text-heavy story about two families, with beautiful RPG Maker maps and a touching soundtrack. Some note the slow text pacing is a minor flaw, and the choices mostly affect dialogue, not the overall plot.
