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 slow-paced, hands-on strategy game where you use nature-based powers to guide and rescue a fallen hero's people across an isometric sandbox.

What players say

Players call it a faithful homage to Populous, but opinions split sharply. Many praise the nostalgia while others say it becomes extremely repetitive and far too easy once you learn the one winning strategy. The lack of an ending and unexplained mechanics like the Kindle system frustrate some.
