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.

What players say

Players praise the buildcrafting and power fantasy, but many say the content runs dry after around twenty hours and characters lack meaningful differences. Sentiment splits on balance, with some calling it shallow, while others enjoy the flow of building up stats for a final mowing-down stage. Several also note performance issues and ask for an endless mode.
