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.

About

A dating sim made by Enterbrain, with character art by Kisai Takayama. KimiKiss is set over a period of a month, where you spend each day planning where to spend your free time at school in the hopes of running into one of the many romanceable girls. Progress is made by chance encounters, which are either short scenes or playable conversations. The conversation system (matching conversation) is made up of 5 rounds, with a set of topics that the player has prepared beforehand. Success in conversation is dependent on the player's ability to figure out what conversation topics are appealing to each girl.
