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 methodical and detail-heavy experience of building and managing an industrial empire from scratch, focusing on logistics, production, and financial balancing.

What players say

Players almost universally call this an unfinished cash grab. They report broken logistics systems, janky road and rail building, frequent crashes that corrupt save files, and tutorials that fail to explain the overloaded mechanics. A handful of players enjoy it after pushing through the tutorials, but the overwhelming sentiment is to avoid it.
