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 satisfying idle clicker where you automate magic research and resource management to build and grow a school.

What players say

Players praise the writing and progression systems, but many find combat grindy and say progress slows down after the first 40-50 hours. A few report crashes on Steam Deck.
