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 say the game ends on a gimmick and is functionally incomplete, more a demo than a full story, with no updates since its 2018 release. There is some praise for its pacing and art, but even positive reviewers warn about its incomplete state and short length.
