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, ambient fishing companion that quietly sits at the edge of your screen and never pressures you to hurry.

What players say

A free desktop companion where the fisher waits indefinitely after a bite, so you can leave it running while you work, and most players love drawing custom fishers and sharing them on the Workshop. Reeling in fish calls for repeated clicking early on, and several players find the interface too small, with no way to resize it or replay shopkeeper dialogue you skipped.
