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

It feels like a deep, customizable turn-based strategy game where you manage resources and navigate a randomly generated fantasy world at your own pace.

What players say

Players are sharply divided: those who praise the depth and customization also warn that the game is cryptic, relies on a wiki or guides, and was abandoned by its solo developer before reaching a polished state.
