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 compact auto-battler RPG with a focus on idle progression, crafting, and endless grinding in a small fantasy world.

What players say

Players describe Naxos as a simple pixel-art idler with crafting and mining mechanics, but an unusually high number call it a shallow grind that feels like a number incrementer rather than a proper game. Some players defend it as cheap casual fun, while others accuse the developer of reskinning the same idle game as a cash grab.
