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 relaxed, automatic progression game where you watch colorful pixel characters mow down fantasy enemies while slowly unlocking upgrades and story choices.

What players say

Players like the early hours and presentation, but split on the later game. Many say it becomes a slow grind after ten or twenty hours, with few meaningful choices and no offline progress, which forces long idle sessions.
