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 lonely, time-pressured grind through a sterile virtual world where every second counts towards earning enough to escape.

What players say

Players describe Money Maker as a free, short idle-platformer hybrid with a strict 2-hour timer that adds pressure but also frustrates those who cannot reset for missed achievements. Reviews split on polish: some call it buggy and tedious, while others appreciate it as a fun time killer with hard parkour levels.
