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 laid-back desktop simulation where you plan and watch heroes grow autonomously without needing to micromanage.

What players say

Players appreciate the core idle loop and class system, but many say intentional time-gating, missing translations, and a tedious late-game grind outweigh the fun. The game is split: some enjoy deep customization and slow growth, others find the pacing punishing and repetitive.
