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 calm and focused atmosphere blending productivity tools with mildly immersive, visually pleasant environments that subtly hint at stories without demanding attention.

What players say

Players value this as a cozy pomodoro companion with nice pixel art and lo-fi tracks, but many find the music player clunky and updates slow. Some compare it unfavorably to Spirit City or Congyin, while others prefer its lighter performance.
