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 manage and care for a horse ranch in a colorful, cozy setting, training horses and building up your farm at a gentle pace.

What players say

Players who love horses find this a rare, cozy game with realistic breeding and care mechanics, but many call the controls clunky and unintuitive. Some report motion sickness, and a few feel the game lacks content or polish for its price.
