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 cheerful time-management game where you juggle tasks and resources to grow gardens at a steady, relaxed pace.

What players say

Players say this sequel improves on the first game by rebalancing difficulty and removing annoying systems, but it remains a straightforward time management game. The story is skippable, the 50 levels take 3 to 8 minutes each, and there are mixed opinions on the fixed 4:3 resolution and price.
