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 slow-paced, hands-off experience of growing a community by assigning jobs, managing resources, and researching tech without constant direct control.

What players say

Players are split on this free idle game. Many praise its clean UI and addictive loop, but just as many call it a blatant clone of Kittens Game and criticize its punishingly slow pace, lack of offline progress, and mechanics that punish exploration. A memory leak that can crash the game is also frequently reported.
