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 fast-paced, quirky open-world trading game where you bike around a cartoonish, psychedelic world to meet customer demands and rise from the streets.

What players say

Players describe Dark Dealings as a mix of Dopewars, early GTA, and South Park from a top-down view, but many say development stopped and the game is dead. Some report it does not run at all, crashing with a red screen after the Unity logo. Others mention missing features like switching to third-person camera.
