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 but occasionally urgent sandbox where you methodically solve office IT problems at your own pace.

What players say

Players are drawn to the realistic sysadmin premise but find the Early Access game too bare, with only an hour of content and many features left unfinished. The networking is confusing and buggy, the tutorials are too basic, and performance stutters are common. A few players enjoy the authentic vibe, but most agree it is not worth its current price.
