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 low-pressure, gentle building and exploration game where you befriend animal characters, craft with a mech, and settle a peaceful village with friends.

What players say

Players love the adorable animal characters, the mech suits, and the chill vibe, but are split on the amount of content. Many find the quests repetitive and the early-access state leaves only a few hours of tasks. Some are frustrated by the lack of a tutorial, stamina that only refills at night, and a slow default movement speed.
