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 dense, data-heavy simulation that feels like managing a nation through endless spreadsheets and geopolitical variables.

What players say

Players are split: they praise the deep simulation and consequence system, but almost universally condemn the technical state. The game suffers from poor performance, frequent crashes and corrupted saves, with many reporting unplayable low fps even on high-end hardware. Reviews across multiple years say development has not fixed these issues.
