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

A minimalist 2D simulation where you click through daily tasks like working, paying bills, and feeding your character, with modest life-sim pacing and a slight chance for casino luck.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a charming, simple life sim about an ordinary person working and paying bills, while others call it a low-effort RPG Maker asset flip with no plot and frustrating design choices like clothes you cannot equip. A few note it has two career paths, doctor or office worker, but find them shallow.
