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 are deeply split on this free game. Some call it a cute, relaxing rescue game for children, while others warn it is an abandoned Early Access title with troubling data collection in its EULA and pressure to buy cosmetic microtransactions. A common practical complaint is that the music and controls cannot be changed, and the countdown timer upsets young kids.
