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 deliberate auto-battler where each decision quietly shapes the fate of your clan, with no urgency or tension implied beyond the base premise.

What players say

Players are split: some find the loop of breaking the Jarl stats hilarious and addictive, but many more report that matchmaking pairs underdeveloped vikings against enemies with millions of HP, making progress feel impossible. The village offers little to do, and bugs like unclickable buildings or glitchy unit placement frustrate early impressions.
