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 retro pixel-art simulation where you freely navigate a chaotic war-torn open world, making your own political and military choices without a fixed story.

What players say

Players praise the sandbox freedom and creative systems like marriage and child inheritance, but say the pixel art is extremely crude, the UI is bare-bones, and there is no tutorial. Opinion splits on whether the price is fair given how unpolished it is, though most recommend it for its unique gameplay.
