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 Istanbul setting and story potential, but most agree the game is buggy and unpolished. The Turkish voice acting is well received, though some find the English translation poor. The game has frequent bugs that can break progress, but many hope updates will fix it.
