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 slow-paced, open-ended building game where you gradually unlock hidden objects and decorate freely at your own pace.

What players say

Players describe Square Garden as a simple tile-based garden editor, not a game with goals or interaction. The limited tile variety and lack of purpose leave many wondering why it exists, though its free price means some call it harmless.
