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 finish it in 15 to 40 minutes and call it too short, often feeling like a prologue. Many praise the cute art and relaxing management, but opinion splits sharply on whether the price is fair at that length, a few report bugs or that it plays like an unfinished mobile game.
