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 warm, low-stakes desktop companion that quietly coexists with you, reacting to your activity while asking for nothing more than occasional attention.

What players say

Players use it as a cute desktop companion while working or browsing, praising the transparent and click-through background as a standout feature. A few note it feels barebones, and some want more character options beyond the default female avatar.
