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 deliberately slow, hands-on construction life-sim set in gritty 1980s Britain, where mixing cement and building walls feels both mundane and oddly satisfying.

What players say

Players love the darkly comic Thatcher-era premise and the satisfaction of building houses, but the game is widely described as a charming but buggy mess. Performance issues, poorly explained mechanics like mortar mixing, and a grindy midgame where options narrow to gambling split the community, though many find the jank worth it.
