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 call this a cute and relaxing idle sim where you decorate an onsen for fluffy animals. Many praise the adorable pixel art and chill music, saying it is perfect for background play. However, reviewers split on depth: some find decorating repetitive after a few hours and note the limited variety of items, while others enjoy the cozy loop and multiple save slots for themed builds.
