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 tiny idle RPG that lives in your taskbar, letting pixel heroes gather loot and grow stronger automatically with minimal interaction.

What players say

Players enjoy it as a background idle game that earns small Steam wallet credit, but many warn the economy rewards spending real money and say item drops get stingy. Long-time players report hackers, glitch abusers, and content updates stalling, with some calling the whole thing a ponzi scheme.
