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 calm, strategic time-management game where you help a retired warrior rebuild his life through gentle town-building and farming.

What players say

Players describe it as a solid timed resource management game with about 40 levels, but some find levels drag too long and the need to calculate market prices under pressure kills the fun. There's also a relaxed mode for easier play. A few reviews mention the developer's past unethical behavior regarding another game.
