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 praise the authentic 1990s feel and atmospheric exploration, but many report game-breaking bugs, save corruption, and crashes. Some say it feels unfinished, and the developer has directed people to just refund the game.
