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 take over a rundown gas station and slowly build it into a thriving business through relaxed management and upgrading.

What players say

Players enjoy the progression from scratch to automation and find the game addictive for about 30 hours, but many note persistent bugs like employees getting stuck and some criticize the developer's use of generative AI without disclosure.
