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 leisurely, absurd simulation where the contrast between peaceful suburban life and a bizarre DIY project creates a quietly humorous, low-stakes experience.

What players say

Players enjoy the absurd humor and writing but find the gameplay repetitive and tedious, with too much back-and-forth fetch questing. The lack of a save system is widely criticized, and some report game-breaking glitches. There is no fail state, so it is more an exercise in patience than a challenge.
