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 slow-burn economic simulation where you compete and cooperate with other players to build a profitable company.

What players say

Players describe it as an online capitalism simulator where you build businesses, trade resources, and compete on price. The community is small and some warn of dead progression if you go bankrupt, since there is no restart. Players are split on the developer: some praise their forum presence, others say changes break the game without warning.
