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

Operating heavy machinery with realistic physics to complete construction contracts feels methodical and hands-on.

What players say

Players say the controls are locked and unresponsive, the camera is awful, and equipment physics make machines bounce like toys. The game also fails to launch for some and offers almost no graphics or control settings. A few players with high tolerance find it fun, but nearly everyone else calls it unfinished.
