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 slow, melancholic visual novel where you explore a fog-shrouded fantasy world alongside a historic figure, driven by a solemn journey of penance.

What players say

Players praise the soundtrack and worldbuilding, but opinions split on the adult content: some find the sex scenes excessive and forced, while others say they fit the dark story. The visual novel has multiple endings and takes around 20–30 hours, though a few reviewers note reused assets and frustrating ending unlocks.
