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 warn this is an asset-flipped template from a developer who reskins the same game repeatedly. The experience is very short, around one hour, and consists mostly of walking with light stealth elements. Some find it charming despite the jank, while others call it a lazy copy-paste. Reviews also note excessive screen flickering and very low difficulty.
