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 fast-paced, hands-on simulation where you frantically juggle sticky notes and manual elevator controls under pressure.

What players say

Players describe a game that becomes increasingly fun as they learn its controls and systems, despite an initial lack of a tutorial. It demands intense multitasking and quick reflexes, especially when operating three elevators during rush hour, and the ranking system adds competitive replayability. Some players find it overwhelming on normal difficulty but rewarding to master.
