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 build and manage a small store into a thriving business empire with a lighthearted, cartoony feel.

What players say

Players praise the layered management systems that add complexity level by level, and note the developer is responsive. However, reviews split on the execution: some find it fun and deep, while others report resolution problems, broken localization, hidden menus, and employee stress systems that feel unfinished.
