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 methodical, behind-the-scenes sim of managing an absurdly large pharmaceutical stockroom, with a dry, satirical edge on corporate life.

What players say

Players praise the cozy sorting and educational touches, but note repetitive box textures and a lack of clarity around upgrades, especially at launch. Many mention the developer's fast fixes and commend the one-woman effort. Some find the head bobbing and similar item colors hard to parse, with ongoing debate on the game's difficulty and depth.
