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 methodical idle game where you micro-manage income generators and strategically reset progress for permanent boosts.

What players say

Players say the game is a time-consuming idler that requires an autocklicker because there is no multi-buy or buy max option for income upgrades, forcing hundreds of thousands of manual clicks. They also report the store page misleads about a deep prestige system, and one reviewer found it makes their PC loud.
