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

You rule a chaotic fantasy kingdom through text menus and random events, with freedom to be cruel, kind, or absurd while facing consequences.

What players say

Players praise the massive scale and endless replayability of this text-based kingdom simulator, with many racking up dozens of hours. Some note minor grammar issues, and one reviewer calls it too generic with no politics.
