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 cerebral interactive novel where you manage a superpower corporation through text-based choices, balancing business strategy with narrative decisions.

What players say

Players praise the management side and the depth of choices that impact the story, but many feel the plot railroads them toward a fixed outcome. The romance is weak and characters feel flat. The game accommodates non-binary pronouns and lets you name your CEO, but resource randomness frustrates some. Multiple playthroughs are needed to see different paths.
