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 slow-burn economic simulator where you methodically expand financial control through turn-based decisions.

What players say

Players praise the fantasy of becoming a shadowy global puppet master through market manipulation and a deep tech tree, but many hit a wall: the game crashes on the very first turn for some, and others find it becomes repetitive after the early game with little to do in the mid-game.
