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

You become a tree stump and stand still, quietly soaking in the calm forest scenery.

What players say

Players describe it as a deeply meditative idle simulator where you sit as a stump with minimal gameplay, though some criticize the achievement grind requiring over 100 hours of idling. Opinions split on whether it is a real game or a commitment, but the community overall calls it the most realistic simulator of its kind and jokes about needing a lumberjack or termite DLC.
