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 gentle, soothing tram ride through a hand-drawn mountain world, picking up and dropping off cat passengers at a calm, unhurried pace.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn pencil art and find the trolley controls, especially the sense of weight, impressively realistic. The short loop of picking up cats and arriving on time in schedule mode is described as soothing, though some wish for achievements.
