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
Carefully managing every detail of a growing skyscraper feels like orchestrating a calm, satisfying machine.

What players say
Players call it surprisingly addictive and praise the balance between puzzle-like planning and chill play, though the manual wiring and pipe work gets tedious in large buildings. Many compare it to SimTower or YootTower, and disagree on pacing some find it a great time killer while others say income only at the end of the day feels slow.
