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-stress, satisfying clicker where you watch numbers grow exponentially while merging cute fruits and automating an economy.

What players say

Players split on whether Idle Colony works as an idle game: some find it requires more attention than typical for the genre, while others enjoy its session-focused structure with different playstyle tactics rather than continuous improvement. A few warn against chasing all achievements.
