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, passive desktop companion where your everyday typing slowly nurtures virtual plants into life without demanding your attention.

What players say

Players are charmed by watching plants grow as they type, but many lose plants when dragging them to another monitor and find no way to select which screen to use. A few worry the app logs keystrokes in a way that looks suspicious.
