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 chill, low-stakes idle game where you build up a cute cartoon pond and shop at a gentle pace.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short and simple idle game with repetitive upgrades and no real depth. The fishing minigame is RNG-heavy and can trap you with uncatchable fish. Auto-features work fine, but bugs and poor translation frustrate some. Players split on whether it is relaxing or dull.
