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 light, low-effort clicker that runs in a small window and asks only occasional input, feeling playful rather than serious or strategic.

What players say
Players enjoy it as a casual idle game that fits real academic work, with funny paper titles and relatable student antics. But they report need to check every few minutes or progress stalls due to IF caps, some stages drag, and romantic events are very rare.
