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

Tending to adorable plants in a colorful, pixel-art garden feels calm and soothing, with gentle tasks that are rewarding without pressure.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a cozy, relaxing game for background play or taking care of virtual plants, while others call it boring and too slow even at top speed. The cute art style is widely praised, but criticism focuses on repetitive tasks and thin content.
