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 heartfelt, rough-around-the-edges story told with sincerity and limited means.

What players say

Players say the game is a short free visual novel plagued by Ren'Py errors that can make it unplayable, though achievements can still be earned by ignoring the bugs. Reviews are split on the writing: some call it poorly written fan-fiction, while a few appreciate the story's emotional moments, but most agree the art is rough and there is no real gameplay.
