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 and cheerful gem-collecting experience where you manage sprites and allocate resources with a light touch and a bit of luck.

What players say

Players say the gem-cracking concept is creative and satisfying at first, but the poor tutorial, unclear drop-rate mechanics, and rough UI make the early hours frustrating. A run takes about 1-2 hours and has no replay value, leaving many wishing it had more content or a proper idle mode.
