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

You seed and watch life emerge on a lonely rock, feeling like a distant, curious creator.

What players say

Players enjoy a short but novel incremental game where your number base shifts instead of just growing, with a reset that wipes everyone out. They appreciate the idle-friendly design and the clever premise, though some wish for more content and visual variety across prestiges.
