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 cute art style and emotional twist ending, but consistently criticize the janky tree climbing and platforming sections. The game is very short, focused on fetch quests, and its dark themes may surprise those expecting a purely lighthearted kids' game.
