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, deliberate, text-driven grand strategy game of managing resources and navigating political tensions in a chaotic, near-future world.

What players say

Players praise the simple, text-based world domination gameplay but are split on polish. Many report crashes around turn 60 and corrupted saves, while others say the PC version is more stable than the mobile original. The diplomacy system is widely considered a joke and military control feels automated and frustrating.
