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 management sim where careful planning and navigating political-economic shifts feel like the core loop.

What players say

Players appreciate the economic simulation and political commentary, but the tutorial is confusing, the game is short, and a random socialist takeover can end your run. Reactions are split: some find the simple gameplay and limited options frustrating, others enjoy the impactful choices.
