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-paced, text-heavy life simulation where you manage a Roman family through generations, focusing on social climbing and daily routines.

What players say

Players describe Citizen of Rome as a deceptively addictive time sink that feels like a Bitlife-style Roman life sim. Many enjoy the simple loop of managing family wealth and reputation across generations, but some find it repetitive and note that development updates have been slow, with some reviews questioning whether the game has been abandoned.
