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 enjoy a free, relaxing fishing game combined with challenging platforming that demands precise hook-swinging. The difficulty spikes catch some off guard, and bugs like the map opening incorrectly are noted, but the cute visuals and 100 fish to catch keep people coming back.
