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 little desktop companion that quietly blooms beside your work, asking almost nothing of you.

What players say

Players describe a low-stakes desktop idle garden where flowers pause instead of dying when unwatered and nothing is timed or can be failed. The snail helper is widely called too slow, and a held F12 minimizes the game, which clashes with Steam's screenshot key. Long-time players report that automatic sprinklers stopped watering every garden at once after an update.
