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 monotonous loop of clicking and waiting to mechanically inflate a number, mirroring the absurd chase for virtual milestones.

What players say

Players are in on the joke: Achievement Simulator deliberately mocks Achievement spam games on Steam. Reviews call it charming and funny, but some say it is lacking as a clicker with little to do after the first 20 minutes.
