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 low-pressure yet deep strategic idle game where you watch pixel ships fight in real time while carefully balancing resources.

What players say

Players are split on this idle game: some praise its depth and lack of microtransactions, while others criticize a very slow start and unsatisfying grind after each prestige. Technical issues like frequent freezes and cloud sync errors that wipe progress are common complaints, and the developer's decision to remake the game has frustrated early supporters.
