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 call it a short, relaxing automation game that takes about 15 to 20 hours to complete. Many compare it to Planet Crafter and say the endgame is the best part but wish it lasted longer. Players agree the game is fun but lacks content and recommend waiting for a sale.
