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 gentle, story-driven farming sim that feels slow and cozy as you explore a colorful pixel world and uncover hidden secrets for the gods.

What players say

Players are split on this short prologue. Some are drawn by its cute pixel art and mysterious atmosphere, but many are put off by the main character's harsh treatment of his sister and a confusing control scheme with no mouse support. There is very little farming gameplay in this demo.
