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, open-ended sandbox where you freely decorate interiors and exteriors, submit to exhibitions, and earn recognition with no pressure.

What players say

Players praise the creative freedom, especially the ability to scale objects in unexpected ways, and call it a relaxing sandbox for interior design. However, performance is a split issue: several players report the game runs badly on lower settings, forcing them to use ultra even when their PC struggles.
