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 stand still as a watermelon, quietly observing a small town from a table, finding peace in utter simplicity.

What players say

Players describe Watermelon Simulator as the ultimate minimalist experience where you simply exist as a watermelon on a bench, with no movement or interaction. The game is relaxing and meditative for some, while others note it is essentially a 100-hour achievement grind with zero gameplay.
