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 methodical, satisfying loop of taking things apart and turning debris into profit, with a calm, hands-on feel.

What players say

Players enjoy the satisfying, destructive loop of taking houses apart brick by brick or with a wrecking ball, comparing it to House Flipper in reverse. Many report frequent crashes and bugs that can block progress, though the game's autosave and regular updates soften the frustration. The tutorial is widely criticized as confusing, making early progress difficult.
