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 satirical, low-stakes shopping simulation with a quirky, whimsical tone as you wander a furniture store at your own pace.

What players say

Players love the chaotic stress of racing through a parody furniture store, but almost everyone who mentions performance says the game is poorly optimized and buggy. Some want the timer removed to just build a home, while others enjoy the challenge of memorizing the shopping list.
