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 laid-back, cozy desktop companion that sits around quietly while you do other things, offering light AFK fishing and dress-up distractions.

What players say

Players split sharply: many report antivirus tools flagging the download as a trojan, with some unable to remove it normally, while others run it for hundreds of hours as a desktop companion. Long-session players describe a cat that fishes and unlocks outfits alongside built-in office tools like a pomodoro timer and sticky notes. Several call the art low resolution and AI-made.
