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

Feels like managing a paranoid empire through absurd Conspiranoid logic, with a tense, strategic pace and pitch-black comedic touches.

What players say

Players enjoy the satirical take on conspiracy theories, especially German ones, and find the core strategy loop engaging. However, a long-standing bug that prevents loading saves, which the developers have not fixed, makes the game unplayable for some and raises concerns about whether support has been abandoned.
