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

You gently tie balloons to tiny toys and watch them float into the sky, a calm and whimsical activity.

What players say

Players call it a chill desktop companion for relaxing during work, praising the cute pixel balloons and the satisfying pop-as-fireworks mechanic. Many note the lack of a tutorial leaves them confused at first, and while the blind box collection is addictive, achieving the highest-tier balloon unlocks becomes a grind.
