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, story-focused life simulation where you explore a furry small town, meet characters, and reflect on identity with no rush or pressure.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and story but report frequent crashes, a bug that slows movement until interacting with an object, and an over-world walk speed that feels jerky. Opinion splits: some say it is promising for a free game, others call the technical state unacceptable.
