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

You feel like a contestant in a fashion design competition, balancing creativity and deadlines under a gentle but persistent competitive pressure.

What players say

Players call this a broken, ugly fashion sim that crashes often and requires file editing to get past episode 5. The judging system is opaque, and players note racist design choices like no black hair option. Some post joke reviews calling it the best game ever.
