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 low-commitment, hands-off simulation where you watch numbers climb while the game pokes gentle fun at capitalism.

What players say

Players describe it as an addictive but mindless time waster where you just watch numbers increase. Many warn that fully completing it requires a long, unsatisfying grind or spending money. Some report a persistent resolution bug on startup and high GPU usage. Players are split on whether it is worth playing, with several recommending Cookie Clicker or other idle games instead.
