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

You nurture a colony of cute crab creatures, building coral reefs and managing resources in a colorful underwater world, with a gentle, strategic pace and a sense of protective guardianship.

What players say

Players enjoy the cozy colony management and real-world charity tie-in, but many find it repetitive after the first run and note the game is short. Crashes and bugs are common, one reviewer describes a softlock with wall repair. The permanent death of crablins can harshly punish any mistake.
