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 bright, cartoonish, and breezy time-management game where you juggle resources and tasks to solve a whimsical medieval crisis.

What players say

Players say this is a typical Alawar-style time management game with path clearing, resource gathering, and building. It offers three difficulty modes including a relaxed no-timer option. The Arthurian story and colorful graphics are appreciated, though one reviewer warns the game stopped working after 18 hours.
