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 gently-paced exploration and management game with a playful medieval fantasy setting, where you build, quest, and interact with quirky creatures at your own speed.

What players say

Players call it a short, relaxing point-and-click management game more akin to time-management titles than a true RTS. They split on whether it is boring or fun, with some noting the lack of updates for nearly a year.
