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 laid-back management sim where you build and grow a shopping mall at your own pace.

What players say

Players say the concept is promising but the game is abandoned by developers with no updates since release. Bugs are widespread, especially janitors getting stuck and thieves being too frequent. Trash management becomes unmanageable mid-game and some features like benches are purely cosmetic.
