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 playful, quirky exploration game where talking furniture and wacky characters turn simple chores into a lighthearted, experimental adventure.

What players say

Players praise the writing and humor, especially the adult jokes and interactions with sentient furniture. It is a short game, but reviewers find it worth the price. Several players wish the developer would add achievements or update the game.
