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 laid-back yet engaging idle game where you build unique tower defenses and customize your character's skills while monsters invade.

What players say

Players are split on Samawa Idle: some find it surprisingly addictive for an incremental game, while others call it boring and unrewarding. A common complaint is that pacing slows to a crawl after early levels, with no way to speed up, and late-game unlocks feel useless because they arrive after finishing all achievements.
