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 short, sexually charged interactive narrative with dramatic workplace tensions and replayable intimate scenes.

What players say

Players agree it is very short, often finishing a single route in 40-90 minutes. The art is widely praised but the writing has persistent typos and grammatical errors. Some criticise save-loading glitches and a locked character path, though free DLC added more scenes over time.
