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 passive, chill experience of watching cute virtual pets wander and interact on your desktop with no pressure or challenge.

What players say

Players like the desktop pet concept and animations, but many grow frustrated with the excessive RNG, repetitive egg drops, and bugs. There is no way to earn rare eggs through gameplay, forcing players to buy them or rely on extreme luck, and duplicate common pets clog inventory with no trade value.
