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 small grass airfield that gradually expands into a major international airport, blending historical progression with strategic resource management.

What players say

Players enjoy the historical progression as the airport evolves, but reviews split on bugs and difficulty: some find it frustratingly finicky with a locked camera and stuck planes, while others call it a relaxing time waster.
