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, click-through visual novel that feels like reading a lighthearted romantic comedy manga on a screen, with no player agency.

What players say

Players describe it as a kinetic novel rather than a visual novel since choices are nearly absent and don't affect the story. The writing and music are praised but the game is very short, has technical issues like stuttering and no fullscreen mode, and uses only Japanese voice acting with English subtitles.
