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 slow-burn management game where you systematically exploit a corrupt system, feeling like a cold, calculating puppet master pulling the strings of society.

What players say

Players appreciate the ambitious cyberpunk concept and responsive event system, but many find the gameplay repetitive and poorly balanced. The late game becomes a tedious grind, the story pushes a single message rather than letting players draw conclusions, and the game has bugs like incorrect profit calculations.
