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 casual, choice-driven visual novel where you gently guide delinquents toward pop stardom with cute outfits and multiple endings, but staying on their good side is key.

What players say

A very short visual novel, finishable in under 40 minutes, with a simple story about reforming three delinquents for an idol competition. Players enjoy the character interactions and multiple endings, though the art and lack of full audio or achievements are noted as rough edges.
