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 consistently report the game was abandoned early in development, leaving it unfinished and buggy. The slow turret rotation frustrates many, and there is no tutorial to explain mechanics. A few find the core concept fun despite the repetition, but most advise against buying.
