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 slow-paced, text-driven idle RPG where progress comes from clicking and automating, with a focus on incremental upgrades and collecting.

What players say

Players are split between those captivated by its minimalist incremental loop and those frustrated by the developer's hostility toward modding. The story is hidden behind hours of waiting, and the lack of visual polish makes it a spreadsheet-like experience.
