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 split: some enjoy the nostalgic school setting and playful minigames, but many more blast the developer for ignoring feedback and starting gender wars. Common complaints include juvenile writing, AI voice acting, repetitive NPC art, and tedious minigames that kill the fun.
