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 calm-paced city-builder where you manage resources and population needs carefully.

What players say

Players call it a Banished-like that expands on the economy but suffers from poor balance and pacing. The early survival challenge is strong, but mid-game becomes a grind with a punishing tech tree and scarce resources, while late game loses all challenge. Bugs and crashes, especially late, are common complaints.
