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 sprawling, persistent world where players build and expand a medieval kingdom, balancing resource management with competitive multiplayer ambitions.

What players say

Players split on whether the game is playable without paying. Many say it is heavily pay-to-win, that free players get spammed with ads, and that new accounts can be IP-blocked with no explanation. Long-time fans praise the nostalgia, but others say development stalled and content shifted to whales.
