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 light, hand-drawn turn-based strategy game with a casual feel, as you lead a small fantasy army through hex-grid battles.

What players say

Players find Braveland a short and simple turn-based strategy game with cartoon graphics, but some call it a poor clone of Civilization. They praise it as an easy introduction to the genre, but complain about the lack of farming options and variety. The game is very brief, finishable in one evening.
