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 tense turn-based strategy where you juggle rebuilding, rebellion, and bureaucracy under constant resource pressure.

What players say
Players describe an in-depth economic management sim with almost no exploration or combat, more like a bureaucrat puzzle. Many note a steep learning curve and a repetitive mid-game. A few report game-breaking bugs with saves and crashes, though some say those are fixed. The text is called too small to read on some screens.
