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 lighthearted, swipe-based political simulation that makes you juggle progressive reforms with public approval and elite backlash.

What players say

Players finish a run in under 30 minutes and find it easy to keep all factions happy, which removes tension for some. Several note the lack of a save feature and no achievements.
