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 calm, unhurried exploration of a peaceful countryside where chopping trees and savoring scenery feels wholly untroubled.

What players say

Players say April Grove is a grindy loop of chopping and selling logs with little story or variety, but its cute pixel art and relaxing pace appeal to some as a low-effort time waster. The game is short, often under 10 hours, and rewards optimizing the chop speed, though several reviewers warn it feels incomplete with empty areas and an unsatisfying ending.
