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 manage a growing tower's IT infrastructure, physically cabling new floors and balancing economy with chaotic layout changes.

What players say

Players praise the game for making networking concepts fun and satisfying to learn, often comparing it to a gamified version of Packet Tracer or Turing Complete. The developer is seen as responsive, releasing updates every 1-2 months and addressing feedback. However, players note it still needs polish and balancing, and simulation is simpler and more arcadey than real networking.
