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 mindless, low-stakes idler where you just let the game run and passively accumulate bass and cash with zero skill required.

What players say

An idle fishing game where fish grow from palm-sized to terrifyingly large. Players check in every few hours rather than play actively, and some wish for unlockable apparel.
