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 compare this to Kuru Kuru Kururin, noting the rotating baton must avoid walls through careful timing. Reviews emphasize the game is very short, with only 8 levels across two worlds, though some mention promise of more. Players are split: some find it a fun few minutes, others call it rushed and uninteresting.
