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 strategic, turn-based management simulation where you navigate a fog of war and manipulate voter biases in a darkly satirical political landscape.

What players say

Players say the game is very early in development, lacking a tutorial and with unbalanced AI that makes every state winnable regardless of real-world voting patterns. The strategy loop of running polls and ads works, but matches feel too easy once you learn it. Players are split on whether it's a promising casual sim or too shallow.
