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

You run a grocery store, restocking shelves and checking out customers at your own pace in a calm, management-focused sandbox.

What players say

Players are split: many enjoy the relaxing, repetitive grind as a brain-off experience, but a vocal group warns the game was abandoned by developers after a final update, leaving it unfinished with broken employee AI and irritating NPC voice lines.
