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.

What players say

Players consistently finish the game in under 10 minutes, often mistaking it for a tutorial. Many call it very easy with no replay value, though they praise the polish, art, and UI. Several say it is worth the low price for a brief experience, and players split on whether the short length is a dealbreaker or acceptable.
