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 slow, abstract space where you manipulate time, physics and logic to discover meaning.

What players say

Players liken Accretion to a space-themed Agar.io, but many find the growth painfully slow and the AI unfairly biased against the player. The collision system harshly punishes players while ignoring AI, and the vague tutorial leaves newcomers confused. Some enjoy the relaxed pace and cosmic aesthetic, but most agree the execution feels unfinished.
