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 lighthearted simulation strategy game about managing and caring for slimes.

What players say

Players praise the cute art and find it a cozy time waster, but many say it is too short for an idle game, very linear, and lacks strategy. The only varied challenge is the final slime. Several note that prestige points go unused and tooltips have spelling errors.
