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 quiet, meditative strategy game where you slowly restore a forest on a floating island, with gentle mechanics and a peaceful atmosphere.

What players say

Players describe a short, relaxing puzzle game about planting and upgrading trees on floating islands. Many note the 1–2 hour length and some find the controls clumsy or the tutorial unclear. Reviews split on depth: some call it too simple, others enjoy the quiet challenge.
