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, hand-drawn island exploration where you quietly cross-breed plants day by day to restore a mythical tree

What players say

The game is a short, relaxing gardening experience where players plant seeds and create hybrids, eventually aiming to restore the Yggdrasil tree, but it is entirely in French with no save system, forcing restarts on exit. Players are split: some find it a charming free title made in 48 hours, while others report the lack of English and progress saving makes it frustrating.
