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 methodically grow a small online shop into a commercial empire through careful strategy, hiring, and crisis management, with a steady pace of incremental achievement.

What players say

Players mostly enjoy the story and humor, and many finish it in a few hours with an easy ending, but they split on the depth: some call it a simple clicker while others find the management decisions matter. Late game turns into waiting for money, and shipping backlogs pile up unsold goods, which many complain about. Some note missing Spanish localization and performance issues on weaker PCs.
