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

You watch goblins mine automatically with no urgency, a short and simple idle loop.

What players say

Players say the game can be finished in under two hours, with achievements that often fail to trigger and a prestige system that does not actually reset progress. Some enjoy the goblin animations and laid-back pace, while others find it too expensive for the content offered.
