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, welcoming multiplayer world where you potter around crafting, farming, and chatting with friends at a leisurely pace.

What players say

Players love the cozy vibe, beautiful world, and housing creativity at first, but many say that after 30–40 hours the game becomes grindy and updates regularly break features like builds and controller support. The cash shop is seen as aggressive and overpriced, and while the community is welcoming, progress feels very solo despite being an MMO.
