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 casual life simulation game where you manage a talent agency and nurture rising stars while balancing romance and mini-games.

What players say

A bare-bones 1990s sim that throws players into the deep end with punishing stat checks and no handholding. Most praise the charming pixel art and nostalgic feel, but the near-total lack of story and maddening bowling minigame frustrate newcomers. Getting enough money often means playing the stock market rather than managing talent.
