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 charming, slow-paced RPG that blends language-learning mechanics with exploration and light turn-based battles.

What players say

Players love the creative minigames and silly humor, making vocabulary repetition feel natural. The RPG approach teaches hiragana and some katakana well for beginners at N5-N4 level, but the lack of autosave and cloud saving is a frequent complaint.
