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 calm, reflective game about tending a small patch of life in a quiet, melancholic world after a disaster.

What players say

Players praise the cozy art and the feeling of a living island, but many say the game demands too much manual clicking for an idle title, especially early on. Players split on whether the automation unlocks enough later. Tool durability and bait not refilling are common frustrations, though the developer is noted as responsive to bugs.
