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, playful sandbox where you bounce around a colorful space-garden, dabbling in silly experiments and friendly interactions at your own pace.

What players say

A calm, no-pressure planet-hopping game where you eat plants and fling seeds. Players call it cute and soothing, but warn it lacks goals and runs out of things to do quickly, making it better for young children or as a fidget toy.
