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

It feels like solving a layered mystery through careful exploration and puzzle-based interrogation in a school setting.

What players say

Players love the art style and characters but are frustrated by the energy system, which throttles play to minutes per day. Many warn against the Steam version due to broken monetization and missing ads. True ending demands months of grinding or real money, splitting players on whether it is worth it.
