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 gentle desktop companion that you feed, dress, and teach, where casual care feels rewarding.

What players say

Players report a tamagotchi-style game where the economy is punishing early on and the hunger and cleanliness systems can lock the character into a unrecoverable state since she never dies. Opinions are mixed on whether updates have improved the balance, and some note that non-English text is still untranslated years after release.
