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

You zip through vibrant meadows and forests as a tiny bee, gathering pollen and nectar at a gentle pace while setting off on simple quests to aid friendly woodland creatures.

What players say

Players love the cozy, relaxing vibe and find the bee protagonist adorable. They split on the start: some struggle with no tutorial and clunky movement, but once accustomed, flying feels intuitive. Players praise the soothing sound effects and distinct character designs.
