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 breezy arcade bowling date with playful mini-games and light romantic banter.

What players say

Players enjoy the simple arcade bowling and charming pixel art, but find the dating sim part shallow with forgettable minigames and little character interaction. Two soundtracks and repetitive dialogue make it feel thin, and some report random crashes or achievements not working.
