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-paced, realistic simulation where you pilot a giant crane in a port, performing repetitive loading tasks with a sense of calm focus.

What players say

Players appreciate the authentic crane simulation, especially those with real experience, but many find the gameplay repetitive after 15 minutes. The game has received no updates since its 2022 release, leaving players wanting more content, free play mode, and keybinding options. Some report it crashes on Windows 11, and controls are a sticking point for those with complex controller setups.
