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 say this old-school hidden object game has an interesting story and atmosphere, but suffers from a low resolution that makes objects hard to see. Many note it lacks a proper fullscreen mode, has no voice acting, and is very linear with easy puzzles.
