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 split: many praise the game as educational and relaxing, while others highlight disturbing dialogue like the cow's 'I'm gonna **** you silly'. The game has a collision bug that lets players escape boundaries, but offers a lot of content and easter eggs for the price.
