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 compare Fishlets to classic games like Insaniquarium and Fish Tycoon, calling it a relaxing idle game with two modes. The active adventure mode is described as fast-paced and punishing, with fish dying quickly if not fed constantly. A minority report a progress-reset bug.
