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 slow, methodical clicker about oil extraction and management with a minimalist, workplace-friendly aesthetic.

What players say

Players say the game is extremely minimal, with almost nothing happening on screen except static icons that change color when bought. It has two prestige systems but is short and can be beaten in a few days. Some praise the simple mechanics that get deeper over time, while others find it boring and repetitive. A few note a bug where gains depend on which tab is open.
