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, reflective management sim where you run a retro game shop through decades of industry change, feeling both cozy and melancholic.

What players say

Players call it a nostalgic trip through 25 years of game retail from 1985 to 2010, with real industry news woven in monthly. Management is light, more about gambling on stock picks than deep systems, but difficulty spikes later as rent balloons, and players split on whether the whimsical events and characters charm or annoy.
