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 relaxed rebuilding and defense loop where you gather resources, craft gear, and gradually restore a fallen keep at your own pace.

What players say

Players say Idle Keep is a menu-based idle RPG with a steady progression loop, but it is a semi-idler that requires frequent manual input, especially for healing during fights. The developer went silent early, leaving bugs and missing quality-of-life features. Fans of spreadsheet-style idlers like Melvor find it okay but unremarkable, while some call it a screensaver.
