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.

You click and upgrade, watching numbers grow as enemies fall in a gentle, loop-driven rhythm.

What players say

Players call it an addictive idle game that is fun at first but turns into a huge grind. Many warn that progress slows to a crawl and that spending money feels necessary after a while, while offline earnings are weak so the game demands more active time than expected.
