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 hands-on renovation sandbox where you methodically destroy, clean, and rebuild sports facilities at your own pace.

What players say

Players report the game is bug-ridden with broken progression, especially at the skatepark, and say the developer never fixed these issues despite years in early access. Reviews also note low variety and poor optimization, though some liked the concept initially.
