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 slow-burn grand strategy where you methodically build an economic empire through trade, diplomacy, and subtle military pressure.

What players say

Players are split: some adore the deep trade focus and peaceful empire building, calling it addictive and original, while others slam the lack of auto-save, the auto-selling grind that forces constant clicking, and crashes even on high-end PCs. A vocal few point to AI-generated art and a confusing start as signs of an early-access feel.
