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

You manage a game dev company from the 80s onward, making strategic decisions and navigating story events at a relaxed, thoughtful pace.

What players say

Players are split on the core concept: some enjoy the detailed game development simulation, but nearly everyone agrees the game is broken. A critical bug that prevents starting or loading saves has been reported for months, and players say the developer ignores reports on Discord. A few reviewers recommend a similar paid game, The Developer, instead.
