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 morally questionable business management sim where you meticulously build a drug empire behind legitimate fronts in a sun-drenched 80s city.

What players say

Players praise the concept but widely say development stalled and the game feels abandoned. It cycles between tedious micromanagement and idle waiting, with bugs and corrupt saves. Some find it relaxing, but most agree it is unfinished.
