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 calm, methodical first-person simulation where you carefully design, stock, and run your own supermarket.

What players say

Players are split: many love the addictive progression and building a store from scratch, but repeated updates that break mods, paid DLC packs that add only cosmetic skins, and a tedious produce-weighing system frustrate others. Long-time players say development stalled on fixing slow stockers and bugs.
