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

You carefully manage resources, taxes, and buildings, slowly expanding a city while occasionally commanding armies in a measured, thoughtful pace.

What players say

Players love this as a nostalgic classic that still holds up as a great city builder. A few note the economics and building remain deep, while a single reviewer reports a repeated bug causing missing workers at key buildings.
