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 gentle, quirky open-world comedy where you chat with stock photo dogs and navigate bureaucratic alien airports to stay connected with your fiancée.

What players say

Players praise the absurd humor and heartwarming world, but many find the fetch-quest gameplay repetitive and the running speed too slow. Opinions split on whether the novelty justifies the short length and minimal interaction.
