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.

About

Design, build and run your own prison! Plan and build your own prison from the ground up! Secure government grants, hire guards and staff and begin welcoming new prisoners in this reboot of the Prison Tycoon franchise. The goal of a good Warden is not to punish their prisoners, it’s to rehabilitate them into productive members of society. In Under New Management, each inmate must work through their own issues that landed them in prison, and it’s your job to provide them with the help they need to get healthy. “Prison Tycoon : Under New Management” is looking for a good Warden. Are you up for the job?
