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 relaxing casual farming sim where you grow plants and cook meals to pay rent, with a light strategic layer from deckbuilding and rising stakes as the island expands.

What players say

Players are split between those charmed by the relaxing garden vibe and a larger group upset that development seems stalled since 2023. Frequent complaints include bugs, no instructions, forced auto-merging of crops, and quests that demand items you cannot yet make.
