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

Playing feels like sipping coffee while gently nudging strangers toward romance, blending low-stakes day-to-day cafe routine with thoughtful matchmaking tasks.

What players say

Players enjoy the quirky Papers, Please-inspired matchmaking where they pair eccentric clients from teachers to tentacle fans, but note the story is short with no endless mode, achievements are missing, and non-Chinese translations have text display problems. Reviews split on whether the game contains controversial social commentary.
