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 peaceful farming game that gradually reveals a darker undertone, blending calm surface gameplay with an unsettling twist.

What players say

Players say the game starts as a peaceful farming sim but abruptly turns into a frustrating stealth-runner hybrid, with the farming portion lasting only a few minutes. Many feel misled by the screenshots, while others appreciate the challenge and art but split on whether the difficulty is fair or broken, and some note crashes during the running segments.
