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 turn-based political simulation where you navigate bribes and integrity to win votes, feeling like a strategic board game with a satirical edge.

What players say
Players describe Political Animals as a cute, short strategy game that feels like a board game. Many say it is simple enough to learn quickly but becomes repetitive and easy to exploit with the same strategy once figured out. Some report the game is unplayable due to missing text and broken menus.
