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 and immersive nature simulation where you patiently observe birds in realistic settings with gentle interactive options.

What players say

Players finish it in about an hour and find achievements easy to get. Many call it silly and cute, but some report bugs like zoom not working and getting stuck on a swing, and one reviewer notes horror elements.
