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 light, fluffy visual novel with gentle romantic comedy vibes and low stakes, focused on adorable interactions and wish-fulfillment fantasy.

What players say

Players praise the character writing and emotional range, but many say the art and character sprites look low-budget or dated. There is no gallery, no achievements, and no official English translation, which hurt the experience for some. Multiple reviewers note the story has a slow, slice-of-life start before it picks up with the game-development competition.
