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.

A warm, unhurried stroll through childhood memories, like recalling lazy afternoons and small adventures with friends.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic 90s Chinese childhood atmosphere, with authentic Shanghai dialect and detailed items like toy cars and trading cards. Many wish for a female protagonist option and more content, as the early access ending feels abrupt. Some find the minigames finicky, and town kids say it doesn't resonate with their upbringing.
