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, whimsical journey through wordscapes where you drift and gather bubbles at a calm, unhurried pace.

What players say

Players find it a short, cute farming sim with Stardew Valley vibes, ideal for second monitor play. It is relaxing and addictive, though some note low polish and minor issues like missing resolution options and Korean font problems.
