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 take the role of Pakistan's president during a monsoon flood, forced to choose between saving lives and keeping their approval rating up. The single scenario is short, and some find it confusing or buggy, though the developer is noted for personally reaching out to dissatisfied players.
