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 stress-free, open-ended building toy where you casually arrange structures on colourful tiles to craft a pretty little city with no goals or pressure.

What players say

Players describe BlockUrbs as a free, simple city painter without simulation depth. It offers relaxing tile-by-tile building with cute visuals and a handful of objectives to unlock building types, but content is limited and it won't hold experienced city builders for long.
