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
You watch and gently poke an AI-driven town as its inhabitants wander, gossip, and interact on their own, like a buggy but charming diorama.

What players say
Players describe an intriguing but unfinished AI colony simulator that was abandoned within months of release, with no updates after April 2025. The AI frequently fails to keep NPCs alive due to a starvation bug and gets stuck in conversation loops, while visual feedback is minimal. Enthusiasts praise its emergent potential, but many warn the project is dead.
