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 cute art and relaxing premise, but warn the game is surprisingly hands-on and complex, not a true idle game. Performance problems like frame drops and save corruption appear after expanding. There are also reports of fishing bugs and confusing plant mechanics.
