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 idle loop of scratching pixel art cards and watching money grow, focused on gradual upgrades and satisfying escalation.

What players say

Players finish it in 1–2 hours and say it is buggy, with only a few upgrades and a difficulty curve that snowballs instantly after the $1 million scratcher. The screenshots mislead: the game never shows as many characters as advertised. A few players enjoy it as a quick completions.
