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 delightfully offbeat social sandbox where your custom characters develop their own unexpected relationships and silly antics in a cheerful, low-stakes world.

About

Create Mii characters based on family and friends, someone you admire, or something completely original—there are plenty of personality traits, little quirks, and physical traits to choose from—including some face customization options you haven’t seen before! Go deep into getting every detail just right, or create Miis quickly and easily by answering some simple questions, and then help them explore their likes and dislikes, find relationships, and get up to all sorts of fun. Your Miis are bound to surprise you as they take on a life of their own!
