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 laid-back, unobtrusive RPG that plays alongside your work, letting you build a party and battle monsters without demanding your full attention.

What players say

Players are divided on this idle game. Some find the grind addictive, while others say it is mindless inventory management with no real progression or higher levels. Long-time players report development seems to have stalled and there is nothing left to do.
