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 slow-paced, experimental sandbox where you nurture and process prohibited plants at your own pace, with a focus on resource management and personal customization.

What players say

Players describe a promising but unfinished simulation that was abandoned by its solo developer. Bugs are widespread, from clipping items to broken saves, and there is no tutorial or controller support. A few dedicated fans still enjoy the sandbox, but many say it is not ready for sale.
