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 game that plays itself while you use your computer, rewarding every click and keystroke with steady progress.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy it as a long-term idle game for the background that rewards daily PvP and dungeon runs, others find the early grind tedious with too much clicking for minimal XP. The aggressive anti-cheat that blocks macros or autoclickers used in other games is a recurring point of frustration.
