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, idle experience where you decorate a window to the world and quietly watch birds visit at their own pace.

What players say

Players describe a relaxing game where you build a sanctuary and observe birds. They love the detailed pixel art and the accurate bird behaviors. Some note certain birds appear too rarely, and a few report cloud save issues in early 2026.
