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 tongue-in-cheek management game where you build a cult empire with dry, dark humour and meticulous micromanagement.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the cult theme and humor, but many find the game gets boring after a few hours due to excessive waiting and a lack of depth. The tutorial is widely criticized for not explaining key mechanics, and bugs like cultists not cooking frustrate players. Compared to Prison Architect or RimWorld, it's seen as simpler and less engaging.
