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 hands-off yet deeply strategic loop of automating resource chains and scaling production while intermittently directing combat.

What players say

Players are split on whether to recommend this idle game: some enjoy the number-go-up loop and balancing resource chains, but many cite gamebreaking bugs, unclear mechanics, and nearly no offline progress. The developer is noted for responding quickly to feedback and patching frequently.
