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, laid-back desktop companion game where you care for and customize a tiny neighbor, letting it thrive quietly while you go about your day.

What players say

Players are split: some love it as a cute desktop companion for chatting with friends, while others feel misled by the 'idle' tag, finding the minigames distracting and grindy. Customization is very limited beyond clothes, and crashes that erase progress frustrate some, though recent idle mode updates are welcomed.
