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 deliberate, high-level strategic and tactical game where you manage armies and build cities across a detailed Roman world.

What players say

Players describe a straightforward ancient conquest game where you build cities, manage lumber and food, and watch auto-resolved battles instead of fighting them. They praise the moddable text files and call the AI tough to outsmart, though some report a loading loop bug that prevents unit movement.
