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, minimalist side-scrolling strategy game where you build a kingdom and survive nightly threats while exploring new islands.

What players say

Players are split on Kingdom: New Lands: some love its simple, meditative loop and gorgeous pixel art, while others find the pacing excruciating with long stretches of waiting and frustrating AI. Save corruption is a recurring complaint.
