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 low-key, reflective sim about balancing adult responsibilities with the fading dream of making it as a punk band.

What players say

Players say the game captures the messy reality of being in a punk band with humor and heart. The story handles heavy topics like mental health and sexual assault well, though some find the rhythm and restaurant mini-games basic or frustrating. Opinions split on the ending: some find it beautiful, others abrupt.
