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.

What players say

Players are divided on this management sim: some find it a deep challenge after learning its systems, but many more say the AI seems to cheat and the heavy micromanagement is tedious. Confusion is common, with complaints that research upgrades have no visible effect and that you cannot open more than one window at a time.
