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 find it a relaxing, very short hidden-object game where finding cats colors in a hand-drawn Japanese street scene. Most call it cute and easy, finishing in 10-15 minutes, though a single negative review objects to deliberately depicted trash near a torii gate, calling it uncharacteristic of the developer's other games.
