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 lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek dating sim where absurd humor and group choices make play feel like a chaotic, friendly hangout.

What players say

Players praise the hilarious writing and cozy dating sim vibe, but many find the card-based combat repetitive over time. The game is often compared to Monster Prom, and players split on whether it improves on that formula. Multiplayer had crashing issues at launch, though the developer was quick to fix them.
