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 calm, whimsical day-night gardening game where you cast spells to nurture plants and quietly manage your harvest for crafting and requests.

What players say

Players enjoy the cute premise and potion-crafting loop, but the save system is broken, progress resets to day one after closing the game. Many note the game was abandoned by its developers after release, and content runs out fast after about 25 days.
