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 vast, unfinished medieval sandbox where building and exploring with others is central, but balance and polish are still to come.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the sandbox building and social creativity, but many others are furious about the real-money land subscription, calling it a bait-and-switch after paying for founder packs. The world is often described as beautiful but empty with little to do beyond crafting and building. Development feels slow, and the payment model is seen as greedy.
