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 click and upgrade mines to watch numbers grow, occasionally interrupted by Ferdinand's costume-themed and borderline offensive quips.

What players say

Players agree it picks up after unlocking ascension and automation, but the early game is slow and click-heavy. The game takes about 9 hours to complete, and while some find the start tedious, it becomes rewarding once numbers grow.
