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, low-effort desktop companion where you passively watch a pixelated pond and occasionally check on subtle eerie changes.

What players say
Players use it as a desk ornament while doing other tasks, praising the high-quality pixel art and lovecraftian atmosphere. The vertical layout fills narrow monitors nicely and the free DLC adds an aquarium mode. Some note the game is not truly idle but requires occasional input, and that the encyclopedia uses numbers instead of fish names, which feels sterile.
