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

The game feels like a calm, deliberate puzzle where you plop down one building per turn on a colorful island and watch it grow.

What players say

Players describe a turn-based city builder that is simple but requires strategic tile placement and building synergies. The game offers both a relaxing peaceful mode and stressful challenge runs, though some are frustrated by random resource requests that can end a run.
