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 gentle, methodical crafting simulation where you restore a magical tower by sending adventurers to gather materials and slowly upgrade tools.

What players say

Players consistently say the game is a repetitive idle clicker with poor tutorials and an unintuitive UI, including a missing close button that can block progress. The charming character art and references to the developer's other games are praised, but the core gameplay quickly becomes a grind. Japanese reviewers in particular note the lack of explanation for mechanics like fatigue.
