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 funny, story-driven first-person puzzle game set inside a smartphone, where you chat with colorful apps and solve clever puzzles in a tragicomic tone.

What players say
Players enjoy the charming phone-themed setting, funny narration, and good voice acting, but are split on the later half. Some say puzzles vanish after 70%, replaced by fetch quests and walking, while others find the whole thing engaging. A few report performance stutters and one reviewer notes no manual saving.
