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, low-stress adventure of island exploration and map-making with a crew of companions.

What players say

Players love mapping islands with tools like a step counter and compass, but split on the difficulty: some find it a relaxing geometry puzzle, others say vague objectives and inaccurate tools make measurement tedious. A mid-game section that gives you worse maps to work with frustrates many, though the game recovers by the end.
