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 methodical and unforgiving economic city builder where careful planning of every resource chain feels like balancing a miniature empire with no room for error.

What players say
Players are split between nostalgia for the Caesar III source material and frustration with a game abandoned for over a decade, calling it clunky, unfinished, and lacking a tutorial. A paid DLC tied to an achievement, despite development being long dead, draws particular ire.
