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 slow-burn economic simulation where you methodically build an oil empire through careful investment and contract management.

What players say

Players say the game has a solid concept but feels barebones with limited building options and poor AI. The price is seen as too high for a simple clicker-like experience, and some scenarios are impossible to complete.
