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 warm, unhurried island-hopping adventure where you make friends, fish, and solve simple puzzles at a gentle, feel-good pace.

What players say

Players describe a short, relaxing collectathon with an adorable art style and cozy vibes. They compare it to A Hat in Time due to shared creators, and appreciate the queer themes, though many note the 5-8 hour length feels too short for the full price and some minor bugs can be annoying.
