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

Clicking buttons to watch automated poker hands build up over time, with luck dictating progress.

What players say

Players enjoy the idle progression and prestige loop but warn that the endgame is extremely grindy and reliant on luck. Reviews also note mistakes in English and that content runs out quickly after ten ascensions.
