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, methodical builder where you repair war-torn structures with a focus on history and creation rather than conflict.

What players say

Players praise the unique concept of rebuilding war-torn France, but many find the controls buggy and fiddly, the gameplay repetitive, and the ending unfinished. Opinions are split: some find it relaxing and worthwhile on sale, while others are frustrated by crashes, rough details, and a lack of creative freedom compared to games like House Flipper.
