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 calm, methodical experience of gathering, refining, and automating magical resources in a peaceful glade.

What players say

Players praise the early and mid game as cozy and relaxing, but many warn that the endgame forces tedious manual grinding for resources that cannot be automated. Reviews split on whether the lack of full automation is a design flaw or the point: some enjoy the challenge, while others find the inventory system cramped and the final slog painful.
