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, gentle virtual terrarium where you passively raise and collect adorable bugs without pressure.

What players say

Players enjoy it as a cozy idle collectathon with a huge variety of bugs to breed for color variants and relaxing music. But many find the breeding interface tedious and wish for bulk operations and a dedicated storage space for rarer bugs.
