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 low-effort, background companion that quietly progresses while you multitask, inviting occasional tweaks without demanding focus.

What players say

Players enjoy the idle, taskbar-friendly loop and say it improves on games like TBH, but many complain about a very low early egg drop rate and clunky, inconsistent UI. Some criticize AI-generated art and early bugs, though reviewers note the developer communicates and updates often.
