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

You live as a penguin on a snowy island, casually fishing, building and upgrading your igloo with friends, with a gentle, playful goal of someday learning to fly.

What players say

Players call it a very short idle game where you earn money to launch a rocket and go to space, beatable in under an hour. The multiplayer does not work for some. Opinions are mixed: some find it charming, others say it should be early access.
