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

You lead a caravan across medieval Asia, making choices and managing resources in a slow, narrative-driven journey.

What players say

Players love the concept and historical setting of a Silk Road trading simulation, but nearly all agree the game runs out of content fast. The same handful of events repeat constantly and the journey loses novelty after the first two hours. The ending is also broken, telling players they made no money even when they did.
