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 use Practisim Designer to plan competition shooting stages, calling it a major improvement over alternatives like Trident or MS Paint. The ability to walk through a stage and catch design flaws before building is repeatedly praised, and users appreciate the responsive developer and active community, though some find the learning curve steep.
