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 satirical, cartoony idle/clicker where you humorously exploit employees and gather resources across whimsical locations, with a light grind that balances silly monster fights and incremental progression.

What players say

Players say the game is mostly an idle clicker with short boss fights, not the hybrid shown in trailers. The UI feels unpolished, there are misspellings and AI art is suspected. Reviews are split: some enjoy the novelty, others find it half-baked with too many borrowed ideas.
