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 chill, automated loop of buying, selling, and crafting cards to steadily level up with minimal pressure.

What players say

Players are split on this idle game about Steam profile leveling. Some appreciate it as a trading tutorial that kills time without spending real money, but more find it an overly simple, boring clicker with dark grey visuals and no sound. Critics say the core mechanic is just buying low and selling high, and the game feels more like a student project than a finished product.
