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 progress-driven casual archery loop where each wave feels like a small step forward in unlocking new mechanics.

What players say

Players praise the relaxing idle progression and pretty presentation, but many finish it in four to six hours and call it too short for the price. They split on depth, some find the loop satisfying, others say it turns into auto-buying upgrades with no strategy.
