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

Running a comic book empire with a light, cartoony feel, focused on creative franchise-building and resource management at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players say the game has a strong concept but suffers from a steep difficulty curve and bugs, particularly a save system that resets printing contracts and frequent crashes. Many describe it as barebones and clunky, though they appreciate the developer's active updates and responsiveness.
