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 slow, hopeful rhythm of tending bees on floating islands to send resources back to a dying Earth.

What players say

Players enjoy the cozy, slow-paced exploration and find the devs responsive, with bugs fixed quickly. Some hit progression-blocking bugs like missing wild hives or a broken honey extractor, and a few find the game boring or too zoomed in. Sentiment is split on whether the rough edges are acceptable for a week-old release.
