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 deliberately silly and grind-heavy RPG where you mindlessly battle forest monsters to collect nuts and earn achievements.

What players say

Players treat this as a passive achievement generator: launch it, let it idle for two hours, and collect 5000 achievements with no real interaction. Those who look for a game underneath find it shallow, but for profile decoration it is considered peak efficiency.
