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 pixel art shop sim where you run a monster store, lightly strategizing dungeon expeditions to get back at humans.

What players say

Players say the shopkeeping and crafting loop is addictive but quickly becomes a grind. The mobile origin shows in the UI and pace, and many recommend getting it for free on phone instead. Late-game difficulty spikes and poor VIP AI frustrate some, while others enjoy the resource management.
