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 are split: some enjoy it as a chill idle game to run in the background, while others find the grind slow and the gameplay repetitive. The gothic garden aesthetic is praised, but the lack of engaging mechanics is a common complaint.
