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 carefully manage a park's ecosystem by deploying genetically engineered wasps against invasive insects, emphasizing scientific strategy rather than action.

What players say
Players compare it to Plague Inc but focused on saving a park with genetically modified wasps instead of spreading a disease. The idea is interesting and science is accurate, but the minigames quickly become repetitive and tedious. Some report technical bugs and the lack of Chinese translation is a barrier. The game is free but feels shallow.
