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

You clock in each shift as a cashier, hustling to balance a tight budget while scanning items and catching counterfeiters in a small town that feels both mundane and quietly stressful.

What players say

Players compare it to Papers, Please, saying it combines cashiering with survival as you manage sleep, food and bills between shifts. Many praise the low price but split on the lack of a tutorial and the voxel graphics, with some calling it confusing at first and others finding the controls unintuitive.
