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 lighthearted, strategic simulation where you manage an alchemy shop under pressure, with roguelike elements adding fresh surprises each run.

What players say

Players say the game is a simple matching puzzle with monotonous gameplay and low replay value, unlike the deeper alchemy or roguelike experience promised. The Chinese version has performance stutter, and difficulty spikes frustrate newcomers despite ultimately feeling unchallenging.
