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 methodical, low-stakes clicker where you optimise upgrades and synergies to push through increasingly tough stages at your own pace.

What players say

Players say the game is short, taking less than a day to beat, and strictly fine for its two-dollar price. The progression feels smooth for the first eight stages per loop, then turns into a waiting game. Some report bugs like training stopping at 300 stamina and a UI that is hard to read, especially for talents. A few suggest it is too simple with little reason to keep playing after finishing.
