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 leisurely base-builder where you build by day and watch your army fight automatically, with no pressure to rush or micromanage.

What players say

Players describe it as a short and simple auto-battler with resource management. The campaign lasts a few hours, the visuals are praised, and opinions split on difficulty, some find it relaxed while others call the later missions a spike. Most agree it is worth the price on sale.
