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 colorful, casual clicker where you set strategies then watch battles unfold, jumping back in for timely interventions.

What players say

Players call it a pure idle game where your character auto-attacks and enemies never fight back. Many note the pacing is painfully slow without an auto-clicker, and that equipment management is clunky. Reviews split: some find it addictive and deep, others say it is repetitive and lacks content, especially since it has not been updated since its 2022 Steam release.
