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

You wander a peaceful forest, listening to birds and rustling leaves, with no pressure to do anything but breathe and observe.

What players say

Players find it very relaxing and a nice escape, but want more variety in birds, trees, and locations, and note boundary issues needing polish.
