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 it as a calming, meditative puzzle game set in a flooded city with rain and ambient music. They appreciate the gentle difficulty curve, but note that aiming for 100% completion and collecting all items can be quite challenging. The English localization has issues, and some players dislike that mistakes require restarting a section.
