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 pure incremental loop where each tiny upward tick feels satisfying, encouraging patience and strategic resets to slowly inch toward an absurdly distant goal.

What players say

Players finish in about one to two hours, and many say the interest rate mechanic makes reaching the billion goal trivial. Opinions are mixed on value: some call it a solid waste of time, while others think it should be free, and a few note typos in the interface.
