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 darkly satirical corporate management simulation where you rebuild a company under AI control, balancing uneasy alliances while feeling the pressure of economic and political turmoil.

What players say

Players describe a story-heavy corporate sim with RPG and visual novel elements, where you manage businesses by buying interchangeable pawns and leveling party stats. The writing and Disco Elysium comparisons come up often, and the game does not explain its systems. The UI is widely called messy or unoptimized, and several say the central loop only lasts around 30 hours with limited replayability.
