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 feel like a political strategist, carefully planning each turn to outmaneuver a rival candidate in a race for votes.

What players say

Players are split: some find the card-based strategy fun and suspenseful, especially the election night finale, while others criticize the lack of policy depth, heavy reliance on luck with card draws, and unbalanced difficulty where states default to red. Several note the use of AI-generated portraits and a repetitive feel, with calls for more features like multiplayer and custom state values.
