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.

A narrative-driven 3D visual novel where you juggle life crises and startup hustle with dark humor and a relaxed pacing.

What players say

Players praise the humor, choice-driven story, and business simulation theme, but the game is plagued with bugs that break progress and force restarts, with the developer seemingly unwilling to fix them. Reviews split on recommending it due to the poor technical state.
