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

You feel like a meticulous ant-colony overseer, designing every inch of a bustling shopping center while wryly milking customers for cash.

What players say

Players say it is a charming and fun mall management sim that feels complete after about 10 to 15 hours, making it best bought on sale. Some find it loses challenge once money stops being an issue, and a few mention AI pathing annoyances or limited customization.
