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 quirky, text-heavy romantic adventure where you manage an idol group and uncover a lighthearted magical-girl secret.

What players say

Players enjoy the adorable character art and voice acting but note the plot is very light, typical for a short moege. The game takes about 3–5 hours and has only one real choice that affects which H-scene you see, not the ending. It is part of a divided commercial series, so you need other entries for the full story.
