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 strategic management sim where every decision on pricing and inventory carries weight, with high replayability and a persistent tension to avoid failure.

What players say

Players split on this shop management rogue-lite. Some enjoy the stock market manipulation and variety of money-making schemes, but many say the scenarios end just as the shop becomes fun to run, the core loop feels repetitive, and the meta-progression is just more options rather than upgrades.
