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 navigate a satirical management sim where your shady past as a businessman-president forces you into crunchy political and criminal machinations to secure immunity.

What players say

Players say the game's choices often feel meaningless, with most decisions boiling down to a single correct option or failing to affect the story. Some call the narrative incoherent or lacking in commitment, while others enjoy the writing and humor but note low replay value and a bug that can break the ending.
