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 call this a wholesome, short visual novel with lovely art and voice acting. The romance is slow burn and focused on character development. Some note the protagonist is refreshingly brave and funny. However, complaints mention bugged achievements, especially the Pyrokinetic Lovers one, and a few found the writing lacking depth.
