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 split on the core scratching loop, some find it addictive and tense, others call it stale after a few hours. Most agree upgrades and tools are broken or useless, physics feel clunky, and the endgame turns into an idle wait for money.
