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 planning and production loop where each day's choices shape your small nicotine business's growth.

What players say

Players enjoy the core loop but say it lacks content and depth. They want control over production tables and a sorting system, as automation clogs up. Some find it addictive, others say it gets repetitive quickly and isn't worth the price in early access.
