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, pixel-art city builder where you manage trade and develop a port town through careful resource allocation and diplomacy.

What players say
Players are split. Some enjoy the relaxing, low-difficulty city builder with cute characters and a short 5-7 hour campaign, while others criticize the clunky building controls, confusing UI, shallow trade and negotiation systems, and poor localization. The negotiation battle is noted as a wasted potential, with a simple rock-paper-scissors loop that becomes tedious.
