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 play as Caesar, anxiously piecing together clues and making careful decisions in a pixelated Rome where every ally or enemy could shift the balance.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and the strategic puzzle loop, but many say the clue system feels unfinished and the game is too short for its price. Some find it fun for a few runs, others call it boring. A vocal subgroup is here for the developer's bizarre backstory.
