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

You mindlessly click and watch monkeys type random letters to slowly complete Shakespeare, a calm and absurdly philosophical waiting game.

What players say

Players call it a cash-grab clicker with paid DLC and in-game purchases. Development stopped years ago, leaving "coming soon" content untouched. One achievement is reportedly impossible, frustrating completionists. Some find it a fun time-waster despite the repetition and low quality.
