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.

What players say

Players praise the surprising depth and satisfying factory loops, but many warn that the game explains almost nothing, forcing them to rely on a community wiki and Discord where some longtime players gatekeep information. Disagreement is high: some call it a perfect idle toy while others say the later game devolves into reading guides.
