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 laid-back exploration adventure where you gather resources, build a homestead, and sail between islands at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the developer's responsiveness and constant updates early on, but later reviews say development stalled and the game was left unfinished. The core systems are divisive: some like the unfolding story, but many report clunky combat, a restrictive tavern-only save system, and sparse animal spawns. The game runs at 30fps and has blurry graphics.
