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 the game as chill and cozy, with cute animals and house customization, but the experience splits on pacing: some find it repetitive after a few hours, while others enjoy the relaxing loop. Frequent unskippable cutscenes and heavy hand-holding with lots of reading also frustrate some.
