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 enjoy this as a solid Zelda-like with charming pixel art and puzzles, though many find it short and note the ending falls flat. Some criticise cryptic design that makes exploration frustrating without guides. A few players warn about hassle with joystick precision for certain puzzles, calling keyboard a better input.
