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 laid-back, hands-off idle game where you occasionally tinker with stats and equipment while slowly accumulating resources.

What players say

Players agree the game has very little content beyond basic idling. Progress stalls in the late game, where upgrading the magic items demands a huge grind of both gathering and combat materials, and the build options are limited to stacking attack and health. A few compare it to the game Gun Brave.
