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 narrative-heavy life sim where every decision shapes your character’s relationships, skills, and the colony’s fate, blending discovery with emotional stakes.

What players say
Players praise the story and replayability, saying each playthrough reveals new layers and choices genuinely matter. The card mechanic is simple enough for visual novel fans but some find it repetitive across multiple runs. Reviews split on the endings: some love the emotional depth, others feel certain resolutions, especially those involving the alien AI, are mishandled.
