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 calm, meditative puzzle game where you gently shape the landscape to guide water and nurture wildflowers, accompanied by soft visuals and ambient guitar.

What players say

A short and calming puzzle game where players lower terrain to guide water and grow flowers, but the logic is not explained. Most finish in about an hour. Reviews split on frustration, some calling it trial and error. An achievement bug on Mac goes unresolved.
