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 game's visual design and atmosphere, but nearly all agree its execution falls short. Complaints center on invisible walls that block progress, a lack of autosave that can erase hours of play, and controls that make jumping onto ledges a frustrating chore. A significant number cannot launch the game at all due to a common crash error.
