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, meditative building experience that invites you to assemble tiny, colorful homes while soaking up a nostalgic, sun-drenched calm.

What players say

Players describe it as a very relaxing and cozy sandbox for building small houses with lovely pixel art, though many note the item variety is limited and there is no workshop support. Some report controller issues and annoying bugs, while long-time players say development stalled with no further updates.
