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.

A gentle, hands-on VR gardening game where you plant, craft, and explore at your own pace.

What players say

Players describe the game as a relaxing VR gardening experience with basic planting and watering mechanics, but nearly everyone agrees development was abandoned around 2018. The core loop is very limited, reviewers consistently say there is not enough to do, and some question whether it is an asset flip. A few still find it calming for the low price they paid.
