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 turn-based political simulator where you methodically manage policies, campaigns, and budgets to climb the political ladder.

What players say

Players with hundreds of hours call it addictive and surprisingly accurate as an American political simulator. The game is text-based and light on simulation depth, but mods fill gaps. Some wonder about the developer's long absence.
