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 calm, risk-driven bidding and cleaning loop that feels methodical and rewarding as you uncover loot and complete orders.

What players say

Players broadly agree the idea of bidding on and looting shipping containers has potential, but the execution falls flat. The game is very short, with only 12 containers to open, and the auction system is basic. Several note broken saves, no graphics settings, and a general lack of polish. A few find it silly fun when bought for pennies.
