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 relaxing atmosphere, pretty visuals and music, but many say it is very short and wish there were more levels. Some reviewers report janky controls and small bugs, which frustrates a minority enough to not recommend the game.
