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.

A lighthearted strategy game where you manage resources and guide Viking companions across enchanted forests and kingdoms.

What players say

Players say Northern Tale 3 is a relaxing time-management game that plays almost identically to its predecessors, with new mechanics barely shaking up the formula. Reviews are split on whether it improves on the second game, and some find the levels repetitive after the first ten. It runs well on Linux via Proton, but lacks full HD resolution and Steam achievements.
