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 short, satirical clicker game that lightly mocks game development trends without high energy or intense humor.

What players say

Players call this a bare-bones asset flip that swaps graphics from a Unity tutorial template. All achievements pop within seconds of clicking, leaving no reason to continue. The game tries to pass itself off as satire of asset flips, but reviewers find it just as shallow as the games it mocks.
