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 relaxed, strategic empire-building game where you slowly grow a small village into a civilization while appreciating historical scenery.

What players say

Players report the game feels abandoned, with no updates for over a year and a surprise login verification added instead of new content. The Steam version limits playthroughs and saves without extra purchases, while mobile accounts do not sync. New players face a steep curve and entrenched veterans who dominate resources.
