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, meditative journey through handcrafted landscapes as you gather clay and fire a kiln, learning the art of ceramics at a peaceful pace.

What players say

Players describe it as a relaxing, meditative exploration game with clear goals, unlike the developer's earlier Mist Monkey. The main path is linear and short, but secrets and post-game content reward curiosity. Some note the controls are unusual and take adjustment.
