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.

What players say

Players say the game was abandoned early, leaving it in a buggy and unbalanced state. The early game is brutally hard, the UI is confusing, and progression-breaking bugs are common. A few players enjoy the business focus, but most say it is not worth the frustration.
