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.

What players say

Players praise the digital adaptation of the board game for its solid tutorial and fun single-player challenges. Some compare it favorably to Evolution, calling it a worthy successor. However, online multiplayer has persistent desync and UI bugs that make it unplayable for groups.
