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, exploration-driven adventure where you befriend and collect diverse creatures in a lush, fantasy open world, with light strategic battles and a serene pace.

What players say

Players are split: some love the creature collecting and multiple modes, but many are frustrated by the auto-battler combat, janky UI, and repetitive grinding. The game is praised for its cute art style and depth of content, but criticized for feeling shallow, overpriced, and tedious.
