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

Running your pet shop feels like a warm, unhurried day spent surrounded by cute animals, with gentle business growth and no stress.

What players say

Players praise the animal variety, breeding mechanics, and satisfying store growth, but split on polish: some call it relaxing fun, others say it feels unfinished with glitches, crashes, and broken worker AI. A recurring complaint is the use of generative AI for wall art, which many find ugly and out of place.
