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 gentle, idle loop of watching little workers toss trash into a hole while the village slowly grows.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a satisfying, short incremental game for the price, while others call it poorly designed and frustrating. Complaints center on unintuitive progression, confusing minigames, and a bad ending with no hints. A few compare it unfavorably to Gnorp.
