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 tiny, cozy desktop companion where you watch a frog tend a garden at your own pace while you work or relax.

What players say

Players call it a true idle game where a frog companion cuts grass on your desktop. Progress is slow, taking hundreds of hours to unlock all decorations through a lottery system. The lo-fi music and ambient sounds make it a popular study or work companion.
