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 playful, heartwarming dating sim with senior citizens, full of gentle humor and cozy slice-of-life charm.

What players say

Players praise the game's respectful handling of elderly dating, heavy topics like death and Alzheimer's, and inclusive queer representation, but many find it very short and feel it's incomplete. A cribbage minigame is unexpectedly popular, while a persistent save-freeze bug and complaints about disability portrayals and forced romance paths split the community.
