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

Managing a shop and opening blind boxes feels satisfying and casually obsessive.

What players say

Players praise the addictive box-opening loop but split on whether the management focus overshadows collecting. Many note AI-generated art, and some report crashes or a slow late game grind.
