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, low-pressure virtual pet game where you bond with a cute animal companion through gentle care and daily routines.

What players say

Players love Ember's personality and the cozy exploration, though the early access has bugs like pathfinding glitches and softlocks. The daily loop of chores and expeditions feels repetitive to some, but the calming art style and music keep most players engaged.
