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 gently humorous, low-stakes grinding loop where you mindlessly roll a boulder, earn money, and unlock silly upgrades.

What players say

Players say this clicker turns the myth of Sisyphus into a humorous, relaxing incremental game with upgrades and a prestige system. The loop is simple and dynamic, taking a couple of hours to fully complete. Some note balance could be better, but most find it delivers exactly what they expected.
