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 gentle, charming adventure where you explore a colorful island, forge metal items, and rebuild a village at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a relaxing, cozy crafting game with a surprising amount of story, while others call it repetitive and grindy with boring minigames. Bugs are common, especially item loss on reload and a glitch with the Ox gift system. Most say it's fine on a deep sale.
