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, open-ended RPG where you freely drift between jobs, crafting, fishing, and fighting at your own relaxed pace on a customizable island.

What players say

Players praise the addictive life system and the sheer amount of content, often comparing it to a mix of Breath of the Wild and Animal Crossing. However, many complain about excessive cutscenes and dialogue in the early hours, and some point to frustrating RNG-based progression and a memory leak that forces a reset every couple of hours.
