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 casual tactical fantasy where you build a castle, hire an army, and fight turn-based battles against dark portals.

What players say

Players praise the depth from kingdom management and turn-based combat for the low price, but split on the difficulty. Some call it rewarding despite punishing RNG and weird enemy advantages, while others find the combat clumsy and the game unfinished.
