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 adorable art and music, though many find the gameplay thin with repetitive dialogue and choices that don't matter. A common frustration is needing 4-5 playthroughs for achievements. The story touches on grief and loss, often making players cry, but some find it confusing or childish.
