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 tense, morally grimy simulation of political maneuvering where every decision feels like a dirty deal.

What players say

Players praise the darkly humorous political simulation for its streamlined mechanics and tight cause-and-effect loops, though opinions split on depth: some find a satisfying sandbox while others call it mechanically simplistic like a boardgame. The UI is widely noted as rough, reflecting its single-developer origins.
