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 laid-back empire builder where you watch your resources grow and conquer through careful management rather than direct combat.

What players say

Players describe it as a chill, short idle game that blends incremental mechanics with light 4X strategy. It is very easy with no real fail state, and sessions are short enough to 100% in about an hour. The developer is responsive, often patching based on feedback.
