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, hands-on farming simulator where you manage land and animals in a peaceful rural setting.

What players say

Players praise the bleak, addictive farming loop and the option to ride a pig, but they split on the polish: many call the game janky and buggy, and report paywalls for content already in the game as well as no way to regrow trees.
