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 laid-back fishing trip where you chat with caught fish before deciding whether to release their mysterious powers, blending calm idleness with a touch of suspense.

What players say

Players enjoy the fishing and creature-collecting loop, though the trait-guessing quiz can feel unfair without an answer log. The extra game mode is much harder, adding substantial playtime beyond the 7-hour first run. A common complaint is the lack of a fullscreen option.
