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 soothing, meditative cleanup adventure where you nurture cute creatures and restore an alien ocean at a gentle pace.

What players say

Players describe it as a relaxing, therapeutic cleaning sim set underwater, with adorable axolotl-like creatures and a strong sense of satisfaction from restoring polluted areas. It's a short game, around 5 to 10 hours, though some find repetitiveness and wish for more content. Players are split on the trash respawn mechanic, with some finding it annoying.
