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
You gently nudge a tiny, self-sustaining world of fungi and bugs, spending most of your time simply watching life unfold at a slow, contemplative pace.

What players say
Players describe it as a meditative ecosystem simulator best left running in the background. They praise the complex predator-prey interactions but note it requires patience and experimentation because there is no tutorial. A few say the gameplay is too shallow to feel like a real game.
