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

Calm, hands-on joy of assembling virtual PC components from real parts, with gentle puzzle-solving and a satisfying sense of accomplishment.

What players say

Players enjoy it as a relaxing and educational sandbox for learning PC hardware, though they split on its longevity. Many say the career mode becomes repetitive with tedious tasks like installing apps and rebooting, and that progression stalls. A few note the sequel is exclusive to Epic, while others appreciate the free build mode for tinkering.
