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 open-world strategy game where you manage a mercenary band, balancing exploration, combat, and trade as the world grows more dangerous.

What players say

Players describe a challenging sandbox warband management game with heavy RNG and a unique blend of autobattler and management systems. They praise the deep but opaque mechanics and minimalistic pixel art, though some find the difficulty baffling.
