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 slow-burn, text-based incremental game where you methodically hunt monsters, collect their drops, and build a village with a quiet, mysterious tone.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and chill soundtrack but are split on pacing: some enjoy the light micromanagement and narrative, while others find it a tedious cycle of short waits with too little to do. The developer responds quickly to feedback.
