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, turn-based strategy game where you balance investments and resources as a Silicon Valley rookie, with text-based decisions and a comic-like, humorous tone.

What players say

Players enjoy the simple buy-low-sell-high loop and the ability to customize NPCs, but almost everyone finds the 25-year time cap too short and wants a sandbox mode. A few hit bugs where they cannot buy shares despite having money.
