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 cozy but pressurized balancing act of charming negotiations, resource management, and friendship-building under a ticking shop clock.

What players say

Players praise the art, voice acting, and character design, but many complain about a lack of quality-of-life features like sorting potions or buy-max buttons, making the game click-heavy. Opinions split on the dialogue, which some find charming and others cringy.
