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 relaxed management simulator about running a shop and outsmarting competitors.

What players say

Players love the chaotic multiplayer twist on shop management, where sabotage keeps matches lively, but they say it is best with friends and has rough edges like desync. Many praise the devs for listening to feedback and pushing hotfixes after launch.
