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 carefully place hexagonal tiles to grow a floating garden kingdom, matching borders and unlocking upgrades at a gentle, thoughtful pace.

What players say
Players are split on this early access puzzle game. Some find it a relaxing, short-session builder like Islanders or Dorfromantik, while others say the heavy reliance on random tile draws makes it more frustrating than zen. The campaign difficulty spikes sharply after the tutorial, and resources feel too limited.
