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

Building and managing a medieval village feels like a playful, hands-on god-game where you can zoom in to watch your tiny subjects bustle about.

What players say

Players love the god-like island management and detailed VR interactions, but many wish for a speed-up mechanic because the pacing is very slow. Some are frustrated that campaign progress resets each new island, while others enjoy the relaxed pace and sandbox mode.
