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 tense, text-heavy management sim where every decision shapes the fate of a medieval town.

What players say

A short choice-driven game where you manage a village through crises over four weeks. Players finish one run in about 20 to 30 minutes, and while first impressions are interesting, replaying feels repetitive once you learn which choices lead to disaster. There are many endings, and some decisions seem to do the opposite of what the text suggests.
