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 rule a pixelated medieval kingdom under constant pressure, balancing resources and alliances with a darkly comic edge.

What players say

Players are split. Some enjoy the charming pixel art and the novelty of dying in creative ways, but many find it shallow and repetitive after a few hours. Multiple reviewers note the late game lacks depth and the developer has dropped support, leaving no new content.
