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 methodical sandbox where you construct medieval machines and structures from realistic physics-based components at your own pace.

What players say

Players largely agree this game was abandoned by its developer, with many calling it a tech demo sold at full price. Some note the community stepped in to fix it, and a few enjoy the physics building, but broken progression and poor performance are common complaints.
