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

A light and breezy simulation where you manage the chaotic everyday decisions of a rockstar's life through random events and text prompts.

What players say

Players are split on Rockstar Life. Some enjoy the nostalgia and humor, but many complain it feels unfinished, with a punishing happiness meter and no tutorial. Drug events force outcomes and the UI looks unpolished, though the soundtrack is praised.
