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 relaxing search for cats across a peaceful Japanese-themed map, with a 100-cat goal that takes hours due to repeated visits to the same spots. The game offers online co-op and a competitive mode to race friends, though sound effects are limited.
