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-paced, tactile alchemy sandbox where you grind ingredients and brew potions at your own pace, with a cozy medieval manuscript aesthetic.

What players say

Players enjoy the cozy atmosphere and satisfying potion-making at first, but many say the loop grows repetitive after a few hours. The economy quickly makes gold irrelevant and shop upgrades feel trivial, while the map exploration loses its charm. Players split on value, urging a sale purchase due to the short non-repetitive content.
