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.

A cozy medieval clinic sim where you craft potions and treat pixel patients, balancing relaxed management with light strategy.

What players say

Players praise the timely virus theme and deep crafting but warn the game is a click-heavy simulator locked to 1200p without fullscreen support. They split on the UI: some find it impressively detailed, others call it overstuffed and tiring. Long-time fans of the Dog and Cat series recognize reused assets and say newer entries have grown more complex without improving the idle pacing.
