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 tense, atmospheric 2D sidescroller where every coin spent balances prosperity against decay.

What players say

Players praise the simple controls and tense risk-versus-reward loop of building a kingdom by day and surviving attacks at night, but many find the lack of in-game explanation frustrating. Some say the game gets repetitive once you are stable, while others call it an addictive time-waster.
