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 gentle, story-driven journey of self-discovery with light romantic and comedic moments, paced like a visual novel.

What players say

Players find the story bland and the characters generic, with many noting the male characters are rude and that relationships feel forced. The game is short, about two to three hours, and has only three endings. Players split on whether it is a decent start to a series or just dull.
