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 lighthearted and quirky RPG adventure where you wander through a world of corny dad jokes and turn-based combat, all while absurdly trying to become the number one dad.

What players say

Players treat it as a simple achievement farm, unlocking thousands of achievements by letting the game run idle for a couple of hours. Some report a black screen on Steam Deck, though the achievements still accumulate in the background.
