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 split on this otome visual novel. Many praise the art, soundtrack, and sheer volume of CGs, but a vocal minority calls the storytelling confusing and the sole female romance route half-hearted compared to the male ones. It is a short game, best for a relaxing evening or two, and leaves each ending on a cliffhanger.
