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 slow-paced, cheerful farming and research sandbox where you explore, collect, and document flora and fauna in a pixel-art world.

What players say
Players enjoy the research mechanic that sets this farming sim apart, and they love the no-combat caves and cute creatures. However, many note the day cycle feels short, progress can be grindy, and the NPC socializing is weaker than in similar games.
