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 simple click-driven journey through a 2D world where you gather, craft, fight, and uncover a personal story at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players describe it as an RPG-like math puzzle with no randomness, where planning routes and managing limited resources is key. But bugs, a broken save system, and no clear tutorial frustrate some, especially since progression relies on careful resource use.
