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 calm, strategic simulation of managing a shop in a fantasy dungeon, focusing on resource gathering and crafting with a relaxing pace.

What players say

Players say the game runs out of content quickly and ends abruptly once you repay the final debt, with no warning to avoid it. Combat and shop management feel shallow, and many complain about clunky UI, translation issues, and bugs like intimacy exceeding 100%. A few enjoy the casual loop and character art, but most find it unfinished.
