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 quirky blend of cozy office simulation and unsettling psychological hints, where daily grind and social choices casually mix with light horror undertones.

What players say

Players strongly dislike that unselected love interests marry someone else and hand the player an invitation, calling it spiteful design. The card system and short 10-year story are also criticized, though mods improve things. Some players enjoy the life-sim fidelity, while others say development stalled a year ago.
