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

You build and manage a colorful arcade empire at a relaxed, sandbox pace, balancing ticket prices and employee tasks while watching customers enjoy the machines.

What players say

Players say this is a straightforward arcade tycoon that is easy to pick up but very shallow. A missing save feature is widely reported as a critical issue, leading many to refund or warn others. The developer has told players they are busy with a new game, which reviewers cite as abandonment of this one.
