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 relaxing, whimsical farming life sim where you escape corporate drudgery to raise animals and befriend fantastical locals in a colorful, hand-drawn world.

What players say

Players say the game is a pure ranching sim with no farming, but it is held back by bugs like freezes, crashes, and broken achievements. Reviews split between those who enjoy the content and art and those frustrated by grind, hostile design, and unfinished controls.
