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

A gentle, pixel-art life sim where you juggle convenience-store tasks and raise a cat at your own pace.

What players say

Players enjoy the cat-raising and convenience store work loop, calling it relaxing and good for ADHD, but note the gameplay is short at around 5 hours and some find the chores repetitive. A few mention adult-themed character designs that are off-putting.
