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 gentle, low-stakes simulation of caring for a baby with simple minigames and positive feedback loops.

What players say

Players are split: parents of young children find it cute and engaging, while adult players say the hand-holdy tutorial and repetitive loop grow boring fast. The diaper-changing minigame draws uncomfortable reactions, and some report a late-game infinite loading bug.
