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, numbers-driven city-building simulation with a focus on economic depth and systemic management rather than visual spectacle or narrative.

What players say
Players praise the deep economy and policy options that make city management feel rewarding, but say the game was abandoned for a sequel without fixing core issues. They split on the grid layout: some find it nostalgic like Sim City 2000, others find it tiresome. Many note the lack of curved roads, limited building variety, and nonsensical traffic.
