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 laid-back city builder that feels like playing with colorful toy blocks, with a gentle day-night cycle and whimsical scenarios that add charm without stress.

What players say

Players enjoy the cute, cozy art style but consistently report the game is abandoned and controls feel clunky, especially road placement. There are split opinions on overall quality, with some seeing potential and others frustrated by lack of support.
