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 describe Convenience Store as a simple, slow-paced idle game that's a reskin of Dream Cake Shop. It is noted for having even fewer random events than that earlier title, leaving only basic setup and waiting. While some enjoy the nostalgia and the new item variety, many say the high price does not match the dated graphics and shallow gameplay.
