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, collaborative painting game where players explore a subtle, whimsical world together, focusing on creation and fixing up the environment at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players describe this as a calming collaborative art gallery where you walk around, paint, and contribute to others' artwork. It is praised for helping with art block and being beginner friendly, but some say the free version is very limited on colors without the DLC and can get boring fast.
