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 idle roguelike that blends real-time tactics with cute anime visuals and an experimental solo translation effort

What players say

Players describe it as a gacha game without the monetization, praising the dopamine of pulls without microtransactions. The English translation is rough but workable, while the endgame is poorly balanced with a sudden difficulty spike for the last achievements, and some players dislike the intrusive QTE events.
