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 meditative, unfolding simulation of rebuilding a corrupted machine through incremental upgrades and layered progression.

What players say

Players are split on this free incremental game. The meta progression feels broken to some, with reward amounts shrinking while upgrade costs rise. The stability mechanic forces runs to end, which some find frustrating rather than engaging. A few players enjoy the music and atmosphere, but many report unclear mechanics and a lack of basic features like window resizing.
