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

You run a whimsical potion shop, balancing experiments, staff, and pricing while building your own cozy fantasy empire.

What players say

Players largely enjoy the potion-selling loop but repeatedly run into crashes, especially when revamping the shop, and note the tutorial is overwhelming. The economy is confusing for some, and there have been no updates for over a year, which frustrates long-time players.
