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 whimsical city-building sandbox where you and friends shape a wilderness kingdom with bright, low-stakes creativity and occasional defense against foes.

What players say

Players say the hybrid of city-builder and action is promising but unfinished. They report frequent crashes, a lack of depth in combat and building upgrades, and limited activities that get repetitive quickly. Some find the running and throwing mechanics fun, while others are frustrated by bugs and stun-locking enemies.
