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 become a rock and simply sit, observe, and absorb nature in a calm, meditative way, either alone or with friends.

What players say

Players describe it as a joke clicker about rocks, with one particularly addictive rock-drop merge mini-game that stands out. Opinions vary on other mini-games, and a few find it relaxing or meditative, especially with VR mode and multiplayer lobby for 'communicating' with other rocks.
