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 soothing loop of clicking and watching numbers climb exponentially with lighthearted absurdity.

What players say

Players call it a nostalgic idle classic with a rewarding progression loop, but also note it becomes a tedious timewall after many hours, especially past zone 100k. The transcendence update introduced a flawed zone transition mechanic, and long-time players warn of a very long grind for achievements.
