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 straightforward, quick-turn strategy game that feels like a lightweight digital board game for casual competitive matches.

What players say

Players report a broken game with a terrible UI, confusing controls, and enemy units that move on your turn, making combat unplayable. The translation is poor, multiplayer is nearly dead, and bugs like the merchant menu are a major pain, though a few see potential in the core idea.
