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.

What players say

Players praise the game for its cute art style and addictive resource management, though many note it is surprisingly stressful and not the relaxing game it appears to be. The colony can die quickly if neglected, and players report replaying to improve their time.
