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 low-effort, idle experience of hatching and raising phantom beasts in a serene forest, watching them grow over time with minimal interaction.

What players say

Players praise the cute art and relaxing music, often using the game as a live wallpaper. The core is an idle creature-collector with a card-pack mechanic, but several reviews note that some achievements are buggy and do not register.
