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

Playing feels like deliberately enduring monotony, a slow, minimalist clicker where the boredom itself becomes an unsettling experience.

What players say

Players say it is exactly what the title promises: you autoclick for hours to reach a finish. The major surprise is that progress is lost if you close the game, so many leave their computer on overnight. A small Easter egg awaits those who reach the end.
