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 satirical clicker that mimics the hollow thrill of opening lootboxes with frustrating repeats and mocking reminders.

What players say

Players call it a short, cheap joke about loot boxes that is funny at first but gets boring fast. The grind for achievements is extreme, with one player spending 240 hours to get them all.
