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 methodical and playful potion-brewing game where careful resource balancing meets quirky scientific trial-and-error.

What players say

Players describe it as a chill puzzle game about mixing potions with wacky ingredients, not a stressful management sim. It takes around 6 hours to finish, and an endless mode was added in a major update. The game is forgiving since there is no penalty for restarting a potion.
