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

Exploring bright, nature-filled locations and helping locals while facing mild danger to a gentle, atmospheric soundtrack.

What players say

Players call the game extremely short, often finishing in 20 to 30 minutes, and say the combat amounts to holding down a button against the same monsters. They split on whether it has a cozy charm or feels like an unfinished demo.
