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.

A relaxed yet strategic puzzle game where you manage oil extraction and environmental impact through short, timed sessions with pixel-art visuals.

What players say

Players describe it as a charming puzzle game about resource management and fracking, with quick rounds that are simple to learn but tough to master. Opinions split on difficulty, with some finding it punishing while others call it a relaxed sim. Many praise the developer's quick community feedback, though requests for a sandbox mode are common.
