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 quiet, meditative farming game where you slowly restore a field while carrying a gentle undercurrent of loss and resilience.

What players say

Players say A Verdant Hue is a simple farm sim with a good cause, but the day cycle is just three minutes, the gameplay gets dull fast, and bugs like a locked shovel or stuck popups can break progress. Controls and pathing are also frustrating, and the letters all say the same thing.
