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 lighthearted turn-based RPG where you level up a peasant into a knight through simple combat, jousting, and quests.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the nostalgic Swords and Sandals formula, but many call it a broken mobile port with unresponsive controls, missing sound, and unfair instant-death events. Long-time fans say the game gets repetitive once gear is maxed out, with no depth after the first few tournaments.
