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 medieval fantasy life sim where you build a homestead and trade in a hand-drawn open world.

What players say

Players enjoy the hand-drawn art and cozy farming-RPG blend, but many hit a frustrating quest wall (finding sturgeon) and find combat undercooked. Storage is tight, and the E key interaction system can cause accidental theft.
