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 low-stakes, meditative clicker where you arrange colorful city tiles at your own pace, with no pressure to optimize.

What players say

Players call it more a basic resource-balancing puzzle than a true city builder. It offers a short, simple experience with no tutorial and sparse controls, and many find the price too high for what is included.
