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 say it is a cheap, short idle game that can be finished in a few hours. Some dislike the AI-generated art and the excessive clicking after resets, but most find it worth the low price. A few note unclear or missing features, calling it an early-access game with limited content.
