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.

About

A mobile game developed by HAL Labs where players move objects around with a UFO character. "In Part Time UFO, fly a UFO around and complete odd jobs. Help out at a farm, support cheerleaders, cook up the ultimate dessert at a restaurant, build castles, and much more! Wherever the UFO goes, there are sure to be plenty of jobs waiting. At the center of all this is the UFO's super special awesome claw! Use the claw crane to grab, move, and stack objects to complete jobs."
