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 are deeply divided: some praise the game's cozy Ukrainian Cossack theme and short length, while many others criticize repetitive fetch-quests, a soundtrack featuring Tsoi after the 2022 invasion, and the developer selling the game in Russia. Complaints include AI-sounding voice work and incorrect stress on Ukrainian words.
