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

It feels methodical and deliberate, balancing supply chains and citizen happiness in a Victorian steampunk setting with a pixel art aesthetic.

What players say

Players are split on Lethis. Many report unplayable technical bugs like black tiles and crashes that have gone unfixed for years. Those who get it running say the gameplay is a decent but formulaic throwback to Caesar and Pharaoh, with a very short campaign and little reason to replay.
