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 modest, customizable economic simulation that feels deliberate and inviting, built by a single developer aiming for steady, thoughtful progression.

What players say

Players praise the responsive solo developer and the freedom to build businesses across cities, but many find the core loop of working hourly jobs too grindy, with limited control over the economy. Reviews split on whether the game's depth justifies its price, and some report release bugs.
