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 soothing, contemplative experience of arranging furniture and making quiet life choices while watching a character's journey unfold across stages of living.

What players say

Players compare it to Unpacking but find it falls short. Many criticize the use of AI art as unsettling and unethical. Others report clunky controls, limited placement freedom, and the inability to adjust a room after placing the last item. A few enjoy the cozy feel but agree it is very short and has little replay value.
