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 praise the visuals and atmosphere but are split on performance, with many reporting bad stuttering even on high-end PCs. The early access has not seen updates in over a year, leading some to call it unfinished or a potential asset flip.
