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 thoughtful medieval autobattler where you carefully recruit, place, and upgrade units while researching technologies to build a coherent army.

What players say

Players call it a fun, addictive auto battler with quick runs and easy-to-learn mechanics, and many came from the demo happy with the full release. Some split on the civilizations: a few say the bonuses feel too similar and want unique units, while others praise the variety they add. A review notes the gunpowder era ends too soon.
