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

Running a futuristic gas station while making morally complex tech decisions, blending methodical management with introspective conversations about technology's impact on humanity.

What players say

Players praise the writing and Black Mirror-style stories but say the management sim is shallow and grindy, with no stakes. The gameplay loop of repairing and restocking becomes boring, and many report bugs and crashes that went unpatched for almost a year.
