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

Playing Townsmen feels like calmly guiding a cheerful medieval settlement from a handful of huts to a bustling, colorful metropolis, balancing resource needs without intense pressure.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic feel and liken it to The Settlers, but opinions split on the interface, some find it worse than the mobile original. Some report crashing and driver issues. After an early difficulty hump, the game becomes easy, and long-time players note little has changed over years.
