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 this as a cute and accessible time management game from GameHouse, comparing it to Diner Dash but as a veterinarian. The story is engaging to some, while others find it predictable or say characters are unlikable. A few report that one toothbrush mini-game is frustrating with a mouse. Players split on the price increase in 2024.
