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 gentle, low-pressure farming sim that runs quietly at the bottom of your screen, letting you relax while cute robots tend your crops.

What players say

Players love it as a side-screen companion for work or study, calling it chill and cute with lovely pixel art. Many wish it were more passive, noting its automation unlocks slowly and the robot moves at a frustrating pace.
