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 slow, reflective visual novel about listening to patrons' stories while gazing at the sea, with a touch of melancholic mystery.

What players say
Players describe this as a short visual novel with a mystery plot and a cocktail-making mechanic. Most praise the atmosphere and music, but several note that three of the four endings feel rushed and anticlimactic. The sprites are animated and characters appear only as silhouettes, which some find charming and others disappointing.
