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 manage a Japanese prefecture's economy, diplomacy, and military in a turn-based struggle for national dominance, feeling like a bureaucratic war game.

What players say

Players enjoy the quick, one-hour sessions and find the real-world prefectural statistics interesting, especially how weak or indebted regions can still win through diplomacy or debt reduction. Split views on difficulty: some say it's approachable on easy, while others call high-difficulty harsh and one review says balance is broken.
