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 short, choice-driven visual novel with a flirty pirate romance and low-stakes historical adventure.

What players say

Players agree this is a very short visual novel, finishing in under an hour for all endings. The art style is charming, but the story feels underdeveloped and the romance lacks depth. Some report minor bugs like language switching and unresponsive quicktime events.
