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 slow-paced life simulation where you explore, build, and manage a farm while uncovering a whimsically dark fantasy world.

What players say

Players praise its dark humor, adult themes, and the way NPCs age and die, but some find the grind heavy and the generation mechanic underbaked. Fans say it improves on Stardew Valley in scope and story, though the game does not hold your hand and combat takes getting used to.
