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 nostalgic incremental simulation with a retro desktop aesthetic, where you methodically grow a business by managing numbers and upgrading systems.

What players say

Players like the 90s style and the IPO prestige loop but agree the game runs out of content fast, several call it more early access than finished. They split on the Minesweeper minigame and note the factory system never connects to the shops, while reputation barely matters and high demand forces constant clicking.
