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 calm, minimalistic real-time strategy experience that feels like gently expanding across a colorful, atmospheric board of planets.

What players say

Players enjoy the simple puzzle-like strategy but split on fairness, the AI often ganging up on the player can make later levels feel luck-dependent. The game is no longer updated, and some note a reversed audio channel bug, while long-time mobile fans praise its faithful port.
