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

Playing feels like navigating a branching, text-driven drama where your decisions shape a personal story of redemption and duty at a prestige school.

What players say

Players praise the writing and romance options, especially the older love interests and polyamory choices, but note the story stays slice of life until the very end. Some feel the pacing is too gentle or the late game rushes its potential.
