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

You carefully design and run every detail of a hospital, juggling medical puzzles and resource management at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise it as the most in-depth hospital simulator, especially for its realism (one nurse said it was uncannily accurate). The tutorial is widely considered ineffective, forcing many to YouTube for basics. Players split: some find the UI awkward, others feel it works fine. Long-time players note development has stalled and there will be no sequel.
