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 lighthearted, strategic simulation where you manage inventory, evade police, and make deals in a cartoonish crime-ridden city.

What players say

Players call this a faithful remake of a classic DOS drug-trading game that is cheap and easy to pick up. Many mention the need to repeatedly unlock longer timeframes, which drains motivation, but those who stick with it praise the soundtrack and art style.
