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 calm, methodical sandbox of building and expanding a hotel from the ground up, with a focus on customization and gradual progression.

What players say

Players praise the base building and customization but note early access roughness. The main complaints are incomplete translations in French and German, the inability to change floor plans after placement, and the lack of wait staff to manage the café. A non-recommending review reports a game-breaking bug where ordered deliveries never arrive, preventing progress.
