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 semi-idle simulator where you watch and care for a growing colony of cute isopods at a calm, unhurried pace.

What players say

Players are split: some love the concept and find it a cozy treat for isopod fans, but many more say broken controls, a non-functional camera, no way to restart, and extremely slow progression make it frustrating rather than relaxing.
