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 laid-back, low-pressure building and management sim where you creatively renovate and run a small motel, gas station and shop at your own pace.

What players say

Players enjoy the core concept but are split: some find it relaxing and addictive, while others report it is unfinished with bugs, idle employees, bad traffic AI, and lacking endgame content. Complaints about performance issues and no Xbox controller support also appear.
