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

You methodically build an airline empire from the 1930s onward, balancing routes, finances, and rivals with a cool retro-neon visual style.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying strategic depth across decades of aviation history, comparing it favorably to classic AeroBiz. However, reviews note bugs that can break saves, machine-translated Chinese and Russian text, fake aircraft names, a lack of aircraft images, and an interface that some find cluttered. The solo developer is seen as responsive and committed.
