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.

You build and manage a hospital efficiently, balancing decisions while watching staff navigate your layout with a touch of playful micromanagement.

What players say

Players report the game was abandoned by its developer shortly after early access, with no updates or fixes for years. Many call it a dead, unfinished product with game-breaking bugs that make progress impossible, and routinely recommend Project Hospital instead.
