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, time-pressured airport parking sim where you carefully maneuver aircraft to the gate under a ticking clock.

What players say

Players say this is a very short tug tractor simulator with only 8 levels that can be finished in 10 minutes. It has no ending, no high scores, and bugs like invisible walls and softlocks. Players are split on the experience: some find it relaxing for a laugh, while others call it shovelware. A heavy price increase from $1 to over $50 has drawn sharp criticism.
