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 relaxed, low-stakes business sim where you casually stock vending machines and explore a cheerful cityscape with fun mini-games.

What players say

Players are split on whether the game is relaxing or tedious. Some call it an addictive time sink perfect for podcasts, while others say cleaning and restocking every machine becomes a chore once you expand. The mini games and upgrades help, but many agree the core loop wears thin after a few hours.
