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.

A breezy, light-hearted escape room puzzle game with a comedic buddy dynamic and very gentle difficulty.

About

One day, while Kumakichi is worried over what to eat for dinner, Nyanzou pauses from reading his manga to announce, “I'm gonna be the King of the Pirates.” Hearing what only could be a joke, Kumakichi thinks, “Not again…”. He tries to ignore Nyanzou, but Nyanzou has a reputation for being reckless. He forces Kumakichi to come along out to sea. And as expected, Nyanzou＆Kumakichi get shipwrecked right after heading out. They drift ashore onto a deserted island. Help these two escape. It's your standard escape game, on the easy side, and highly recommended for beginners. It comes with autosave, hints, and memo functions.
