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 calm, low-interaction desktop companion where you passively watch an onion grow, harvest, and serve soup in a gentle loop.

What players say

Players love it as a low-distraction desktop companion with a charming onion character and deep customization. They praise the art and music, but split on balance, one notes excess soup currency late-game, and another calls multiplayer joining janky.
