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 first-person management sim about running a cinema, focusing on inventory, staffing, and scheduling with a practical, methodical feel.

What players say

Players love the attention to detail in running a theater, but a flood of bugs drags it down. AI employees stock shelves in the back room, customers phase through counters and walls, and the movie rental system confuses. Performance is poor on low-end hardware, with some crashing. Players split on whether the fun core loop is worth the rough state.
