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, whimsical sandbox where you decorate spaces with a huge catalog of items, guided by simple requests or free creation.

What players say

Players praise it as a cozy, relaxing sandbox for designing rooms without the simulation baggage of a game like The Sims. Many use it as a creative tool for art or writing backgrounds. Reviews warn that the base content is thin and gets boring fast, with some recommending a discount. Workshop items over 1000 can cause crashes.
