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, card-driven city-builder where each turn's careful choices gradually transform a blank slate into a thriving, self-sufficient kingdom.

What players say

Players enjoy the intricate card-driven engine building and the way each tier introduces new mechanics, but many report the late game turns into a tedious chore once slots fill up. The UI is criticized for requiring constant mouseover to see information, and some wish there were more meta goals to work toward after a first win.
