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 tranquil, wordless journey guiding a flock of birds through gentle winds to an original orchestral score.

What players say

Players describe Gathering Sky as a short, relaxing experience more than a game, completed in 30-60 minutes. The orchestral soundtrack adapts to player pace and is widely praised, while the simple mouse-based flock guidance is seen as meditative. Some find it too minimal or lacking engagement.
