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 slow-burn kingdom builder that rewards patient expansion and incremental automation, balancing relaxed management with tactical decisions.

What players say

Players praise the interconnected systems and charming pixel art, but they split on the idle label. Several call the small resource caps a design flaw that forces constant attention, while others enjoy the hands-on micromanaging. Combat difficulty and a storage upgrade catch draw complaints.
