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, self-directed sandbox where you tinker with mechanics and manage resources at your own pace, with bursts of survival tension when health runs low.

What players say

Players call this a shallow idle clicker where every world, regardless of theme, follows the same 'click to grow resources, unlock next tier' loop. The editor and workshop are the main draw, without them the base game is thin. Many note the mobile-like vertical screen with black bars on PC and the heavy use of AI art.
