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 low-stress, hands-off desktop toy where you watch a procedurally growing tree with light interactive pruning and optional bug-clicking for speed.

What players say

Players enjoy the chill, low-pressure desktop tree as a background companion while working or browsing, but many warn that progress resets if the game isn't properly closed and synced to the cloud, and several note that bugs cannot be turned off and trimming lacks an undo option.

This page is from Underplayed Gems, a catalog of older and overlooked games. Not quite it? You can browse by platform and genre, or take this one into the 3D catalog and ask the Catbot for something closer.
