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 calm, story-driven medieval city-building experience where you shape districts and manage resources to help your kingdom grow.

What players say

Players praise the district-based planning, where buildings specialize and synergize, and enjoy a relaxed pace with no time pressure. The campaign is short, around 13 hours to complete, and some find it more of a puzzle game than a city builder. A few report bugs with quest loops and crashes.
