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 praise the adaptive AI that learns from their actions, making each run feel fresh due to randomized item locations. The game's inspiration from Hello Neighbor is frequently noted, and many recommend it for speedrunning, though some note the lack of language support.
