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 very direct and absurdly self-aware clicker where you press a button, watch numbers rise, and listen to hours of dry developer commentary.

What players say

Players are split: some treat it as a contemplative or joke experience about pressing a single button, while others warn it is unfinished with no settings and achievements that freeze before completion.
