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

You build a game studio from the ground up, then expand into a sprawling corporate empire, wrestling with tough business decisions and industry realities.

What players say

Players love the depth and the fantasy of running a game studio, and they praise the developer for rapid fixes and community engagement. However, early access means bugs, sparse visuals, and some confusing UI, with players disagreeing whether its current state is worth buying or best waited on.
