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, casual game where you explore and collect items at a leisurely pace with a curious duck, occasionally dashing when curiosity strikes but never feeling rushed.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple idler where you watch a duck walk, collect acorns, and buy cute equipment. The duck's footstep sounds are a highlight, often used as background noise or ASMR. Some find the content too sparse compared to other idle games, but fans of the duck's charm enjoy the low-stakes collection loop.
