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 craft-and-business sim where you methodically build a distilling empire while staying alert to threats that test your planning.

What players say

Players compare it to a less polished version of Schedule I, replacing drugs with alcohol. Most agree it becomes repetitive after 8 to 16 hours once the short campaign ends, with no further goals. Reviews are split on whether the low price justifies the current state, and long-time players worry development may stall.
