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 tender, epistolary visual novel where you slide letters across the screen to feel the weight of time and unsaid longing between two scholars in a cozy fantasy world.

What players say

Players enjoy this free short prequel as a charming, slow-paced letter exchange between two men. The central gimmick is sliding between both characters' perspectives to see their contrasting reactions, which reviewers find amusing. It is a visual novel, not a game with mechanics, and some call the writing weak.
