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 gentle, low-pressure visual novel where you learn about Japanese culture through calm school-day interactions and simple friendships.

What players say

Players call this a short, educational visual novel about Japanese culture and history, not a romance. They praise the cute art and Live2D animations, but note choices have little impact and the story is linear.
