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 calm idle game where you gather resources passively at a railroad shrine, then explore in a simple JRPG style to progress steadily with light strategy.

What players say

Players praise the early game for its steady unlocks and cute bear companion, but many report that later stages require constant manual clicking with no offline progress, forcing the game to stay open 24/7. Opinion is split: some call it a cozy side game while others say content runs out fast and updates stalled after reaching 'conclusion' with events and items left unfinished.
