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 calming, do-it-yourself woodworking experience that rewards patience and creativity with the satisfying feel of hand tools in a virtual workshop.

What players say

Players call it a realistic woodworking simulator that is deeply immersive but also frustrating. The physics jank makes joining pieces and drawing straight lines a chore, and the game demands patience through tedious measuring and cutting. Performance can be heavy on high-end GPUs.
