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 deliberate resource-gathering and army-building strategy game set in a fantasy medieval world, where players methodically expand their economy and military before engaging in tactical battles.

What players say

Players compare it to classic RTS games like Warcraft and Age of Empires. Many praise the automated resource management and cute graphics, but note the lack of a tutorial and unit AI problems like pathfinding and refusing to fight back. A minority report crashes or a locked resolution.
