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 gleefully absurd simulator that parodies cultural stereotypes with over-the-top, comedic scenarios.

What players say

Players describe the game as an absurd, satire-driven experience that simulates the struggles of Chinese emigrants, full of internet memes and timely references. Reviews split on whether it offers meaningful commentary or feels shallow and lacking gameplay, with some praising its emotional weight and others calling it rough around the edges.
