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 casual, social sandbox where you freely customize your avatar and apartment, then hang out with friends in a low-pressure virtual world.

What players say

Players are split: many cannot even launch or log in, citing forced third-party accounts and endless loading screens. Those who get in find a buggy, empty world with limited customization and no real multiplayer beyond inviting friends, though a few enjoy decorating and call it relaxing.
