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 praise it as one of Kairosoft's most polished and content-rich titles, with a huge map and deep customization. But they warn it requires constant manual clicking for events like marriage and contests, leading to repetitive busywork in the late game, and a few report save file corruption.
