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 isometric strategy where you indirectly guide animal species through genetic mutation and resource management, feeling like a thoughtful, educational sandbox.

What players say

Players are split on Territory. Some find it a relaxing, unique strategy game with surprising depth from indirect animal control through genes. Others say the genetics are shallow, the maps feel repetitive after the first playthrough, and late-game performance is problematic with lag and save file corruption.
