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 it as a serene desktop companion that blends interactive art with ambient soundscapes, perfect for unwinding while working or studying. It runs with low memory but can use noticeable GPU on high settings, and some wish for more customization options like saving settings or adjusting the sky.
