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 quiet, repetitive crafting loop where you calmly strike the anvil, sell swords, and slowly grow your reputation under the watchful eye of a Cat God.

What players say

Players forge and sell swords in a simple loop that hooks them for hours, though many warn about the lack of autosave. It takes about five hours to reach the ending, but the late game turns grindy if you skip the collection log. The spreadsheet skin and keyboard-only controls are a hit for playing at work.
