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 calming, detail-rich fishkeeping simulator where you observe and manage a dynamic aquatic ecosystem with personality-filled fish.

What players say

Players say it is the closest thing to a real aquarium in a game, with fish that have distinct personalities and behaviors. Progress is very slow, days last 15–20 minutes, and some players report crashes, while others love the calm, realistic fishkeeping and the small texts describing fish actions.
