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 low-effort fantasy RPG where your hero steadily advances through training and combat, even while you're away.

What players say

Players praise the connected skill system and satisfying progression, calling it a relaxing idler to check a few times a day. However, many note late game becomes boring and slow, the inventory is clunky with missing sorting and tooltips, and combat progress does not work offline, which frustrates some. Several compare it favorably to Melvor Idle.
