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 enjoy the mix of photography and studio management, with a progression loop that unlocks better gear and customers. The game is considered janky but charming at its low price point, and many highlight pettable stray dogs and the ability to throw boxes at people as fun distractions.
