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 hands-off RPG where you watch your character grow stronger over time through incremental upgrades and idle progression.

What players say

Players are split: some praise the strategic depth and interconnected systems, others find the progression confusing and grindy beyond the early game. A notable complaint is save file loss from the auto-save system, while long-time fans say there is no paywall.
