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 light, strategic simulation where you manage a virus scenario with a casual, playful tone.

What players say

Players call it a simple time waster that feels unfinished. They split on the ascension mode, some find it deeply unbalanced, others stopped playing. Save file corruption after an update and a lost sense of progression are common complaints.
