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, meditative incremental game where you guide a magical wolf to slowly transform a barren wasteland into a lush, colorful meadow.

What players say

Players describe a short, relaxing incremental game with a charming look and soundtrack. Many praise the prestige system that avoids full progress resets, but several report bugs in later challenges that block achievements and the endless mode. Some find the upgrades and overall loop unsatisfying.
