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 sharply divided. Some call it the best fishing game out there, while others describe it as a buggy mess with fish that glitch through textures, lures that don't move realistically, and lakes that feel empty for hours at a time. Many note that real-world fishing knowledge doesn't help.
