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 laid-back, story-driven dating simulation where players follow a linear romantic adventure with lighthearted visual novel interactions.

What players say

Players praise the art and music but are split on the writing. The common route is described as a tedious slog, and most heroine routes feel short or underdeveloped, while the true heroine's route (Sophia) is seen as the only substantial one. However, severe bugs, crashes, and file corruption are widely reported, and the game was frequently unplayable for some.
