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 slow, methodical city-builder that unfolds over millennia, where you guide a civilization from stone tools to modern warfare through careful resource allocation and diplomacy.

What players say
Players describe Timeline as a stripped-down 4X that scratches the Civilization itch without the added complexity. The core gameplay is praised, but many point to missing quality-of-life features like a minimap and mousewheel zoom, and the graphics are dated.
