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.

What players say

Players describe E-Startup as an abandoned early-access game with game-breaking bugs and no updates after 2019. The developer stopped working on it and later released a sequel, leaving the original unplayable and frustrating due to broken mechanics like stuck workers and unfair delivery timers.
