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 quiet, conversational experience where you care for a talking plant and shape outcomes through a unique dialogue system.

What players say
Players describe a very short visual novel (under an hour) about a botanist talking to a flower. The unique choice system uses sliders for care, honesty and openness. Reviews consistently note the depressive mood, frequent grammar errors, and a single music track that grows repetitive. Long-time players mention it was abandoned in Early Access before a sudden engine update and full release.
