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, meditative stroll through beautiful landscapes, guiding a small herd with calm and curiosity.

What players say

Players consistently praise the game's beautiful visuals, music, and calming atmosphere, but many find it shallow and short, clocking in around 2 to 5 hours. Opinion splits on controls, with some calling them clunky and others finding them fine with a controller.
