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 demanding city management game where you build and defend a Greek polis through careful resource allocation and tactical decisions.

What players say

Players report that the game is abandoned by its developer and remains riddled with game-breaking bugs, especially workers getting stuck and failing to deliver goods. The font is too small to read with no option to increase it. Raids are repetitive and easy, while campaign scenarios can be impossible to complete due to unresponsive mechanics.
