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 gentle, low-pressure idle game where you watch your fish grow in a charming Game Boy–style world.

What players say

Players call this a very slow idle game with almost no active gameplay, where progress barely moves until late in the run. They praise the Gameboy Color-style pixel art, but many find the music repetitive and the lack of a prestige system a disappointment for a genre that usually has one.
