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 gentle fantasy farm sim where you gather resources, craft tools, and cultivate a serene garden in a magical void.

What players say

Players praise the game's 3D visuals and creative premise, but consistently say it lacks a tutorial or guidance, leaving them to figure out everything on their own. The difficulty is unbalanced, with even low-level monsters one-shotting the player, and controls are clunky because tools don't auto-switch.
