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 mix of lighthearted comedy and emotional tension as you navigate a BL romance through choice-driven storytelling.

What players say

Players praise the art, voice acting, and webtoon-like story, but consistently criticize the English translation for typos and awkward phrasing. Many warn it is short, about 6 hours, and expensive for the content, and note that it is strictly a love triangle with no solo routes, so the romance feels unfocused.
