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 praise the core simulation loop as addictive but are overwhelmingly let down by the developers. The game launched with ten maps but was reduced to eight, updates are slow for a two-person team, and the multiplayer frequently crashes or desyncs without saving progress. Many cite a remark from the developers about the game being too hard for women as a lasting controversy.
