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 journey of restoring life to an alien world through nurturing plants and exploration at a calm, unhurried pace.

What players say

Players love the cozy concept of restoring ecosystems with plant puzzles, but nearly all warn that bugs and soft locks have gone unpatched since 2024, with some unable to finish the game. The map is widely called useless, making navigation a chore, and the main story ends abruptly before achievements are complete.
