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

You tinker with party compositions and setups, then let the numbers roll forward on their own while you check back in to push the front a little further.

What players say

Players call it a light idle game for a second monitor, praised for deep upgrade systems and a responsive developer with no ads or microtransactions. It leans on AI art, which many reviewers note, and progression grinds to a wall around 20 hours because Renown, the breakthrough currency, only comes from a few capped daily arena and raid fights.
