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 calm, low-pressure sandbox where you slowly build a unique garden by collecting and arranging random decorative items.

What players say

Players describe it as a cozy clicker that is more hands-on than a true idler, with a simple loop of clicking visitors and placing items. Many mention it can be a surprising time sink, but also note that the game slows down and lags as you place more items, and that inventory management becomes a hassle.
