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 serene, slow-paced walk through procedurally generated natural landscapes, focused on unwinding and letting go of real-world stress.

What players say

Players describe it as a peaceful, infinitely generated forest walk that fills a need for quick nature escapes. But long-time owners say development stalled: three years in, only one environment exists and there is no reason to stay for a full hour.
