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 methodical and analytical city-builder where you optimize slave labor, resource chains, and deity appeasement for profit.

What players say

Players praise the relaxing city builder and sandbox achievements, but say the interface is clunky and the game is buggy. Many note the slave management is interesting, though it becomes frustrating with poor saves and tutorial gaps.
